Member I owned a 2013 2L petrol R line Tiguan with a DSG 7 speed and it started to produce an intermittent sound when coasting and changing into 5th gear. The DSGproblems. Me again. My 2020 tiguan R line 150 DSG is booked into get looked about. I find myself having to accelerate quite a bit while going uphill at slow speeds. The revs will stay the same but speed will drop. Only way I can explain it is its as if you were holding the clutch pedal around the bite point on a manual or a slipping clutch. TheSkoda Kamiq 1.0 TSI and 1.5 TSI offer the same automatic transmission – it’s the DQ200 7-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission with a really questionable history. This gearbox got a lot of bad reviews in its early years but now the 7DSG transmissions are more or less good. In this article, I will cover the following topics: What do you Iknow it will have 18 month warranty on it but what are these like for reliability. My Golf is a 2018 1.4tsi. with 7 speed dsg. No problems whatsoever with very smooth gear changes. I've lost track of how many dsg VW's and Skodas my wife and I have had over the years with no problems. In2009 Audi introduced their own developed 7-speed DSG (S-tronic) gearbox. This S-tronic, called DL501, is developed for longitudinally placed engines and can therefore be used in certain larger Audi models. In practice, the DSG gearbox shows several common issues. In many cases, DSG repairs can be prevented by checking and maintaining Afew weeks ago, my wife and I traded in our perfectly excellent 2017 GTI SE w/DSG for a 2019 GTI with the new 7-speed DSG. I crazy. It's a long and boring story. Anyway, this 7-speed DSG is a big disappointment, and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced the same thing. I loved the the 6 speed DSG in the 2017. Thenit will have a 7-speed, dry clutch transmission. Do not confuse this with the "old" type of automatic gearbox, which has a fluid flywheel and no clutch as such (colloquially called a "slush-box"). however, very complex double clutches, machined to extremely fine tolerances, and some have had problems; remember, though, that there Mr5O.
