Re: What happens at 10mph?

I get the impression that the 3 cylinder engine is not really suited to the DSG.

Re: What happens at 10mph?

On my Polo (DSG) when starting from cold I get a slight vibration when pulling away from stand still. (Feels like the gear is in a too high gear for the speed) Its done it from new.

Re: DSG Service schedule

From my own research it’s a sealed unit with separate oil for the mechatronics and the gearbox itself. The mechatronics is sealed and the gearbox oil ‘can’ be changed but isn’t absolutely required. Unfortunately the unit will wear and eventually the clutch will need replacement and it will cost a f...

Re: Clock and trip reset itself?

It is doing it more often now so I will be calling the local dealer to see if they can provide a software update. Not sure if I will be charged for this though, I expect so. It’s a known problem as there’s a TPI (Technical Product Information) update to rectify it; see Alan_p71’s post - bottom of p...
