DSG woes in The Age

[nomadx38]

Been a R36 I would assume you have the 6sp Wet Clutch which has not been recalled.

There has been a very small number of problems with these gearboxes (clutch shudder, mechatronics issues) but nowhere as big as the 7sp dry clutch which is why they were recalled.

Thanks for the clarification lads .. read about the DSG DQ200 but wasn't sure if that was the 6 or 7 speed

I have noticed mine on the odd occasion when its cold that 1st to 2nd is pretty rough. One time it actually had a pretty loud bang on upshift. Has been the only thing so far that has warranted any concern. Will need to get it looked at on next service
