Just wanted to share my latest story - after having owned and driven a myriad of faultless DSG equipped VW's since 2006, I've finally, sadly been bitten by a faulty DSG.

I upgraded to a white Tiguan 132TSI R-Line Edition recently, but sadly was involved in a massive front on crash and the car was written off (not before it saved my life though). My insurance, after too long a delay, replaced the first Tiguan with a brand new one, this time in tungsten silver. Frustratingly however, after 2 days driving and a grand total of 150kms on the odometer, I received a 'Gearbox Overheated' message on my dash and lost all drive. To cut a long story short, I wasn't ever able to continue driving and the car was picked up and towed to my VW dealership. Since then, the dealership have confirmed the gearbox is faulty and will need to be completely replaced.

At this time, it's going to be another 2-3 weeks before the replacement gearbox arrives and I'm back on the road.

My question is, have any of you on here had a DSG gearbox replaced and had no further issues.

Cheers.
