Timbuktu Clutched June 29, 2012 Share June 29, 2012 I know VW sells plenty of lemon cars. Just go to vagsg.com. Many gave up on VCS, after unresolvable episodes on failing mechatronics and unreliable DSG. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's only the tip of the iceberg, taken from vagsg.com forum. There are plenty more to be found there. http://www.vagsg.com/forums/forumdisplay.p...desc&page=2 It's almost a 100% failure rate for the 7-dry DSG. Very comprehensively listed by VW owners, by nick, car model, mileage clocked when failure occured and the root cause.
