How problematic is VW's 7 speed DSG?

[Earthboy]

SG market not bad for VW, they have good amount of rich guinea pigs who is willing to pay up 100-200k to help them test the DSG batch by batch. Car breakdown then change car with 1-2 years(seen so many young VW cars on SG car Mart recent months.)

Speaking the truth, I almost became one until I read the VW forums. i cannot afford to spending my hard earn money to take the risk eventhough I may not end up as one of the unfortunate one.

Guess they should get all their marketing personnel to buy their own cars and shall see if they will market the car so strongly.

 

to some they will that that it is a small price to pay for a car is advance technology. shift faster lei haha.

 

like i have been thinking is it different perspective or stupidity?

Agreed, even the DSG is well known problemtic and yet there are so many people willing to spend their money on getting one?! Really dont understand?!

already 23 pages, theoretically the problem is there.

but the vw car on the road, especially 2012 and 2013 model is alot, maybe 1 out 10 car in the road could be vw.

so.., no need worried so much :)

very happy to see some pppl believe the coe will go down.

btw what definition of coe down, 10k level or 20k level?

My guess it will be between 20 - 30k since LTA is going to claw back quota to flatten the supply.

[Twich]

Do u have 50K for downpayment?

[Paddie]

My guess it will be between 20 - 30k since LTA is going to claw back quota to flatten the supply.

 

My personal belief is that COE will not go below 45-50K for the next 2 years.

In short, buy DSG running on wet clutch. :)

Guess coe going down should refer to 20-30K range!? Actually coe already consider went down liao, from $90K to current $60K, a sharp dropped of about $30K. Although this $60k level to many people still very expensive.

SE told me 2 yrs ago

LOLOLOL...

 

btw, i asked y recall happens only at present, SE mentioned sillypore is too small market to have impact on ger-many, unlike cina.

 

what a joke... commercialism at consumers' expense. vw built quality may be good, but as long as transmission has issues, better to forget about onwin one.

DSG must uplorry then VW buyer can witness the build quality when the ride kenna rear ended and tell everyone to buy VW bec the build quality sibei solid and the thrashmission comes with 10yr warranty.

 

This kind of carrothead-lobang, where to find??? You think every AD so stupid to give you 10 year warranty ah?
