Soya Supersonic January 16, 2020 Share January 16, 2020 2 hours ago, 7hm said: The interior is almost identical to the Passat visually, which is indeed a negative, but to begin with for most the Passat interior was quite classy and well made, if perhaps ... understated, to be euphemistic. Anyway, Arteon right now is going at a practically fire sale price from VCS. Even if VCS lelong at cost @ $170k, it still seems too expensive for what is essentially a Passat.... ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when you have carbon valve deposit, that takes away a bit of driving enjoyment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you owned a VW with problematic megatronic or are you making the statemen based on hear say? I have owned 2 units with 6 speed DSG, one clocked 158K+ km while the other just crossed the 140K km mark, and *touch wood*, none of them exhibit any sign of jerking or failure. In case you are not convinced, my friends and relatives have another at least 5 Sharan, Golf GTi, Passat CC, aged between 8 - 13 year old (mileage >150K km at least) and all are going strong till date. It can't be that we are all so lucky with faultless gearbox right? 10 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickster 5th Gear December 10, 2020 Share December 10, 2020 I think he meant the dry DQ-200 gearbox. Your version and your friends appears to be the wet ones, which are quite ok. I believe the Arteon also should not have such issues as they are not using the DQ-200 which is meant for entry level VAG cars. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't be that we are all so lucky with faultless gearbox right? Actually I did kenna with the 6 speed wet DSG. It was a Caddy. Otherwise, it performed flawlessly. I changed gearbox oil every 40000km. After 160000km, the shift from 1st to 2nd gear will give a violent jerk. Quite loud too. It was after 9 years and I scrapped it. The boss later told me he renewed COE and changed the gearbox. 😁 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually seriously considering a Harrier turbo. 😅 i think the turbo batch they should fix already .. if not i would be disappointed with toyota. some time its not design fault. but lousy quality part use. like the latest model altis (around 2-3 year model ) they use a cheap bearing for their alternator. very fast around 60k mileage , high % of altis will kenna the bearing damage woooo sound from the alternator. their Procurement chief for this really need to be sack. ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
