Gearbox issues; and problems at VW Service Centre

[Fels]

 

I do hope that it is a wet clutch but I am doubtful that they are using a DQ380 or better dsg?

I tried to do a search and couldn't find the answer. There is one commented that it is using DQ200, which is a dry clutch. Hmmm.

Thanks for your reply though.

VW is in fact very reliable if you maintain it properly and avoid the problematic models.

Given today's context, you need to watch how the model survives in the market. Look out for massive outcry of 'quality' or 'design' problems (eg. The DSG7 dry) Avoid them and you will have a better shot. Don't limit yourself to the 'nationality' or brand of the vehicle. Choose wisely as cars are getting more expensive.

Do you know whether the wet DQ380 is exclusive to the Chinese Domestic Market?

Honestly I dont know.  

 

A MCFer better in mandarin, translated a link within the DSG subject from WiKi.  iirc, the link spoke of how this wet7 mitigates the issues of the dry7 & .....praise & praise how the DQ380 is made in their Chinanese factory & how world class their factory is.

they should retrofit our useless DQ200 to the DQ380

[Yuan]

Since ur mk7 has 1 of the longest record of being free from dry7 related down time; u should post a long SOP on the 'TAO' of the dry7.

[Fels]

No SOP.

 

I can only say probably I am one of the more fortunate ones. I kept my car stock, serviced at stipulated intervals in accordance with the manual and once a while, bring the car to some tyre shredding exercise with @Fels.

 

Then again my parts tend to wear off at an accelerated rate than others since I thrashed the car around like a lawn mower.

You treat your car like a slut.

Come on down to the meeting point with the usual guys. We are having noodles tonight. Let us see your slut with the new intercooler.

Many things have to change. Parts source migration normally take years with engineering, legalities, quality, cost etc... all into consideration.

Intercooler and the parts are all stock or OEM. What is there to see?

 

Hope you all have a great catching up.

now fren just msg me his MU n clutch need to replace; cost 4K.

 

btw, not twin charged, not single charged, only 1.4 NA. coming 5th year iirc.

 

another update for those who still thinking of vw.

 

objectively, few yrs have passed n by right vw should have ironed out issues. but i wouldn't place 100k to bet on that, just like i wouldn't place this amount of bet in RWS / MBS, though i still get a car in the former.

NA? What car is that? Was there ever a NA paired with the DQ200? What were the symptoms of failure? Who did he go to for the diagnosis and replacement?
