Lunched a gearbox in the Arteon

[rjt86]

Wow, that’s scary, is your car completely stock and how many km’s?

I would love to hear a bit more info from you as to this “known fault” when you chat with VW further,
That’s a little concerning.

Yep - completely stock apart from the "Audi mod" which is hardly a mod. Dealership said they'll keep me up to date - so if I get any more info I'll post here. When I got home and saw fluid pouring out everywhere, I did a search on it and found this video from the TDIClub forums. DSG Leak? - YouTube (this is what the underside of my car looked like) - there are also other links on VWWatercooled where people have had DSG fluid leaks and it seems to be a problem related to the filter and/or filter seal. So I thought maybe it was just that....I had a problem with the seal, I lost fluid, and that's the problem. Replace the filter/seal, top it back up - easy fix.

But after the car went to the dealer and they explained the issue I was like "Daaaaaaammmmmmnnnn". Her exact words were "Did you hear a really loud bang at any point?"

I'm just glad it is being covered under warranty. No way am I pulling $20K out for a new gearbox. If it came to that I'd just buy a whole new car.

6spd or 7spd? Never heard of this before...
Who has the car, Cricks at Springwood? That's were I go...

Yep - Cricks at Springwood. Though I bought the car from Cricks at Maroochydore and my "extended warranty" is with them, but Springwood is honoring it (if they need to). And it's a 7sp DSG (wet).
