Beehive3783 Turbocharged June 19, 2019 Share June 19, 2019 Yes, I have driven a VW for a few days. It's really nice to drive, but the gearbox is the joker. If you're lucky, you don't get any problems. If you're down on your luck, it's MU failure after failure. With so many horror stories about VW's MU failure, I'm not surprised at all. I also have a few friends who never went back to VW after their first one. personally i know 2 friends and 1 neighbour first time vw owner that buy other brand for their next car. all 3 commented vw car good too drive despite gearbox issue. (yup all 3 kenna gear box problem ) 1 of them drive very slow very gentle driver, this guy manage to drag 7 years never fail ( but jerking ) in the end change to nissan lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(yup all 3 kenna gear box problem ) 1 of them drive very slow very gentle driver, this guy manage to drag 7 years never fail ( but jerking ) in the end change to nissan lol my friend bought a new VW which came with 5-year gearbox warranty. heard the car was in and out with minor ailments every now and then, final straw was when one day the car had only gear 1, 3 and 5 ... and VW took quite a long time to fix. so he sold off in the 4th year. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayz89 3rd Gear June 19, 2019 Share June 19, 2019 vw gearbox problem is the dry clutch nia. i recently just bought a 2009 golf GTI but it's the 6spd wet clutch. with the amount I paid for a COE car, I would have gotten the brand new avante basic model instead. But after thinking, buying a COE "premium conti car"(if you compare GTI to a normal golf of cos) rather than getting a basic korean car. i choose the latter.. thats just me...

Lotr 6th Gear June 19, 2019 Share June 19, 2019 Their models are rather dated liao. Roc and Beetle been around for years. The Arteon which is nice is too expensive. I guess those potential buyers are either going upstream by buying the A3 and A4, or choosing the more VFM Skoda instead. Not to mention Passat is overpriced.

randomuserss 1st Gear June 19, 2019 Share June 19, 2019 Vw gearbox is well known for its problems. Why do people still buy vw when they already know this?? I know that I won't strike toto, doesn't stop me from buying twice a week most of my friends that buy VW tho, all value face/status over the reliability factor ba... that's why buy those super low depreciation roc/golf second hand..

Midorima 4th Gear June 20, 2019 Share June 20, 2019 Vw gearbox is well known for its problems. Why do people still buy vw when they already know this??Because generally there is only one version which is problematic, the dq200 dry 7 speed. All the others are fine. By the way, even if it’s the dq200, it has improved. No doubt the VW brand is affected by that, but for newer models there hasn’t been much complaints (VW Group cars like Audi, Skoda, Seat). So don’t see anything wrong with buying. Some people value the driving experience as opposed to reliability. If you haven driven a DSG gearbox, go try it and you will know why. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedj 2nd Gear June 20, 2019 Share June 20, 2019 Because the dsg driving feel so much better than any other mass market auto trans. At most fork out another 5k if anything happens but they seemed to have rectified the issue. You only see non owners talking about it. Haven’t seen any new outrage over it from the owners. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theoldjaffa Hypersonic June 20, 2019 Author Share June 20, 2019 How much is a clutch replacement for DSG? Do both clutches need replacement at the same time or can replace just the one that’s worn? ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
