Have I received Lemon Tiguan 132T or again DSG old problems continue with Volkswagen?

Unfortunately, we did never get to the cause of the noise problem as Volkswagen were not engaging to do so, although my wife's legal representatives did suggest analasis of the DSG oil for swarf contamination should it be required. I have followed a number of VAG forums and one in particular that appears to have a high report of noise problems appears to be the Skoda forums. One forum member posted most recently on 03 October 2020 appears to have solved the problem, LINK -;Grinding noise - Page 3 - Skoda Kodiaq - BRISKODA.

Makes sense if the DSG mounts are bad that the noise gets transferred and amplified through the chassis.

Once again thanks for your interest.

Thanks for coming back and filling us in on how you went. So often people come here posting a problem but never come back to complete the story once the issue has been resolved. Then later when people are searching for same/similar issues they end up with only part of the story and no conclusion/outcome.

Sounds like I need to stay away from the Czech made Skoda.

Does Skoda SUV use a cheaper / different DSG than the VW Tiguan ?

All come from the same factory. Basically the Kodiaq and Tiguan have the same motor/drivetrain options (except Kodiaq RS has the 176TDI and Tig gets petrol 162TSI as top of line model). Same with the Karoq and T-Roc both have 140TSI and 1.4litre 110TSI.

I beleive the Kodiaq gets the DQ500 (same as Tiguan) and the Karoq/T-Roc get the DQ381 7 speed whilst the 110TSI has an 8 speed Aisin(?) auto.

I thought in recent times the Czech made Skoda stuff was outperforming the other factories (even without my personal bias).

Hearing about DQ500 issues in regularly serviced transmissions is what concerns me so much about Audi's attitude towards the same gearbox in the RS4 B8.. and why I'm going in a different direction.

What type of 7spd DSG gearbox does the Kamiq 1.0 TSI (85 kW) have ?

Pretty sure it's the DQ200 dry 7 speed - same as lower end Golf/Polo.

The DQ500 in the first Gen Tiguan and cars from 2010-2016 were pretty bulletproof. It's only some gearboxes in 2017 there were some issues and I believe it's related to a certain batch/period of production. At least I'm hoping that's the case and they haven't reduced the quality/cheapened it/driven down costs and caused reliability issues.
