Want to drive a car with DCT gearbox, need to change your driving habit if stuck in a jam. While stationary in a jam, try to push the gear to N instead of leaving it at D to minimise half clutch position that will heat up the clutch plate.

If the car is stationary in D gear, and the brake pedal is stepped on, the clutch is disengaged, so it is not in half clutch position. No harm to switch to N also, just that it may not be necessary.

 

However, if we slowly inch forward, the clutch may be in half-clutch position, too much of this will heat up the clutch. For earlier VW 7DSG, both first gear and second gear can be in half-clutch position.

Not advisable to do so. Even if traditional TC or CVT. Suggest to leave at 'D' and when brake pedal is depressed fully, clutch is disengaged.

 

On the contrary, shift to 'N' and back to 'D' jolts the moving parts more therefore more wear and tear.

Guys. My friend stonic dct overheated while at causeway jam. He had to pull over and wait for it to cool down. Frustrating for him as it was late on a Sunday and theres work on Monday.

Need to practise shifting between N and D, many of us are doing this, it's very tedious but no choice since we already gotten the car unless you don't cross the causeway then there wont be this issue.

The problem lies in the person driving the car.

Just to add. He went over to CNC and the service advisor told him this is common in dct and must learn to either stop plus neutral at jam OR go.

 

Don't creep which will overheat the dct.

 

I think he has learnt how to live with it.

I feel for your friend. To me this is unacceptable. This is modern day technology where people are talking about AV and EV, and yet we are talking about a new car with gearbox overheating issue. Edited by Roh96

overheating in dry DCT is fact, that's why indicated in manufacturers bulletin and manual.

 

so either choose a relax drive or stressful drive, so down to individuals...
