DSG Fixed

[gregozedobe]

They replaced the mechtronics in the vehicle and now it runs like a dream.

Good to hear yours is fixed and you are now happy with it.

You should be able to put your car in D have the A/C going listening to music and drive . Its that simple.

Amen.

Hi Terra,

Been reading your DSG thread with great interest. Hope richdave's problemns get fixed too.

I have a 125 TDi wagon on order (will be built in March 09 and delivered around May 09). Really hoping the DSG is as smooth as it should be. Wonder if I will get the corrected module/software from the start. Fingers crossed.

Anyone with a MY09 125 TDi CR care to comment about their DSG.

generally very good, but on a few occassions i caught it in "sleep" mode ( wrong gear?) heading into an intersection and its taken a few seconds to engaged the right gear and get going. felt like the engine had stalled -bit scary.

also i find the sports mode is good but holds onto lower gears too aggresively.

no sign at all of any whiplash like the others were having.

Get your car looked at as it should not be doing this at all if your DSG is functioning properly. When we firt got the car the first thing we noticed was the limp/sleep mode mainly into oncoming traffic (gets the old heart racing) but by the time we came to the 15k service the car was doing the whiplash as well...


And nting this is my personal opinion.... I believe that VW are fully aware of the DSG issue in some of their vehicles. As there seems to be only a small percentage of cars with this problem, the solution is to replace the faulty mechatronics when the problem arises. So more than likely your car will not have the DGS issue and you will have many happy Km's of driving.

First VW, this is a really good write up of how the DSG works.

I think every DSG owner should read this...some good info

there is massive (interweb driven) hype around DSG failure and how much it costs, yet there are so few cases of ACTUAL failure apart from some issues in the early TT boxes.

If you talk to any VW mechanic (dealer or non) who has to deal with this stuff on a day to day basis, they will tell you.

Its expensive to replace the box but it isn't 25k like someone mentioned haha

Cheers terra. I really hope so. My missus will kill me if it acts up. I can hear it now, "I thought you said it was meant to be a really good car..."

In any case, I'm sure you're right and it will be fine when she gets here. May 09 can't come soon enough.

only done it twice and only to me, shes driving it much more & never had it. Also only happened in the first week at philip island, starting to wonder if i was making it up.

i don't fancy rolling into an intersection and then flooring it to see if it will do it again!
