    DSG noise...

    Hi all

    I'm hearing a noticeable clunking noise when my DSG changes down from 3rd to 2nd.

    Am I hearing an expensive mechatronics slowly failing?

    I had the full 60k service about 8 months ago, nothing unusual spotted...

    What are the thoughts out there?

    It's funny, it doesn't seem to do it if I downshift manually

    I only hear it with the windows down and when slowing down for lights etc.

    A lot of DSG issues aren't as pronounced when using manual mode.
