DSG / DCT Automatic Gearbox MAINTENANCE Tips - PART 1

[@sunnywagle8995]

Completely off topic but I have something to say about changing car culture in our country. Lately I have been seeing some reels where creator is driving at illegal high speeds on expressways and even on two lane highways. It’s sad to see number of likes and support these guys are getting for indirectly promoting rash driving. Even if someone criticise them for their rash driving, their followers would simply argue that “It’s a 5 star rated car, not your tin kaa dabba”. I have nothing against 5 star rated cars. Structural rigidity over any gimmicky feature any given day. But and a big BUT, we sincerely need to understand the limitations of these crash tests. A 5 Star rated car doesn’t make you death or injury proof. Gncap conducted these crash test at the nominal speed of 55-60 Kmph. Please drive responsibly even if you own a volvo. A 5 star safety rated car doesn’t give you the license to drive like a maniac.

Honestly i hate Indian automobile journalist. They are nothing just advertisers for brands. If brand launch a hatchback and called it SUV they just simply promote it as SUV. They never ask reasonable questions and they don't have any knowledge, whenever they explain any tech that information was passed on by brand itself. Most of them stop owning any car bcoz they have multiple cars from multiple brands for promotion and they can use it for their personal use too and some who own car but hide it from public which brand they own and few are genuine who own cars and tell bad things too. But sometimes it's really really funny how these influencers promote Indian brands alot but when time comes to buy their own vehicle they just simply choose korean for its resale, reliability and brand value Now i love watching content of small creators bcoz they are easy to interact and they have very good experience and knowledge.

Great to hear your very logical and reasonable comment on how people killing DSG and then blame it by saying its not reliable. Nowadays so called few drag race KZbinrs doing it and then other customer as well who does not have enough knowledge and does not handle and care the DSG, lead it to fail and because of them all there is a notion and a narrative that VW/Skoda DSG not reliable and it fails for no reasons.

Nice to see Munishji again. Regarding what he mentioned about diesel car stalling in flood situation, I'd like to make an addition. If car has stalled in flood, never attempt to crank it irrespective of whether it's a petrol or a diesel car. In either situation water will be sucked into the engine through the intake and it will game over for the engine.

Looking forward to your battery-gearbox issue.. I have faced this issue with Ameo 1.5 TDI DSG - my 4y 2m old car, with 55k odo, gearbox failed and one of the reason given to me was aftermarket battery. VW didn't offer an option of extending warranty beyond 4 years for TDI DSG combination whilst it was available with TSi engines

I have a question, when the engine gets auto stop does it still hurt the clutch? Or its only if your engine doesn't stop aggressively in bumper to bumper traffic?

[@pradeepbhadana]

One more query if it can be addressed be it in another video .. Is it safe to: 1. Install led bulbs in place of incandescent ones on VW 2. Accessorize car with branded products like a dashcam, ambient lighting, better speakers (plug & play and amplifier driven both)

Part 2??

[@vanditgambhir]

I smiled seeing you two in the thumbnail and smiling. My mind thought, dude this is going to be exciting 😅

[@ET_Matrix2030]

Would like to add some points -: 1. Put the car in manual mode (1st gear ) when in bumper to bumper traffic. it helps to prevent unwanted gear shifts from 1st gear to 2nd gear, then back to 1st gear ( again and again ) 2. Move the car only when u have space ahead of your car equal to the length of your car. ( hence clutch, brake & fuel usage reduced ) { in city traffic } 3. put dsg in neutral ( asssuming cars speed is about 100km/hr ) when you approach for a toll plaza or a red light on the highway. ( clutch usage reduced, but this will put stress on brakes ) { mostly on highways only } 4. For dry clutch avoid putting car in eco mode because everytime you release your foot from pedal ( car in motion ) the car goes in neutral ( ie. Clutch was used ) and imagine the number of times we release the race paddle in traffic and also on highways. { this last point is for those who want extra care of there DSG to help reduce clutch wear & tear or people obsessed with there DSG's :D } 😄

[@siddharthgoyal4008]

1. If you are in bumper to bumper traffic the issue is not in shifting gears. Issue is continuous clutch solenoid engagement. Only solution is to shift to N periodically if you are stuck for a long time. 3. Is wrong, it will damage the drive shaft. As long as you are decreasing speed normally from 100 or even 120 km/hr there's no issue. Normal gear shifting has no issue for transmission. There is almost 0 wear when dsg shifts down normally at decreasing speed.

[@ET_Matrix2030]

can you explain how's that damaging drive shaft ? because last i checked coasting does no harm ( as in eco mode car goes in coasting mode every time we lift our foot from the paddle ). @@siddharthgoyal4008 just trying to do a healthy discussion, thats all :)

[@AbhisekPal0023]

All your videos are very informative and relevant, and I have been watching for many days and have learned a lot. I am driving a 1.5 DGS Sokoda Kushaq 2023, and what I have noticed is that when I press the brake to stop my car at the traffic signal, the engine automatically shuts off, then starts again when I take my foot off the brake pedal (due to auto engine start/stop function). I would like to know in this specific case: is it necessary to shift gear from "D" to "N" when a car (like 1.5 DGS Sokoda Kushaq 2023) is stationary at a traffic light? Or if it is put in "D" then there is no problem? Why I am asking this because I was told by the service engineer that there is no problem in "D" mode at traffic lights. Because the ECU is now smart enough that there is no need for a gear shift in these conditions. I would appreciate your opinion on this matter. Thanks!

​There is no need to shift the gear from "D" to "N" when the engine stops automatically.

[@kriyan-so3qf]

Sunder bhai, I have slavia style 1.5 MT and hv driven it for 3k kms...also same month my cousin purchased Verna sx MT(2nd top model). On entering the car I felt that the fit finish, quality is quite impressive, feels like an above segment car. On other hand my slavia doesn't feel that premium even after being the top model with slight rattles n flimsyness of ac vents. I can say compared to slavias interior,verna feels rich. My slavias interior I feel cant be compared here....slavia can be compared with ciaz interior with a pinch of piano Black is what I feel Also verna sx can be compared with slavia ambition where slavia lacks a lot of features like LED light, diamond cut alloys, sunroof, great aerodynamics and mainly as far as safety is concerned it offers only 2 airbags where verna offers 6. Since I had budget top slavia I could get 6 airbags but it's not that everyone will buy top model. Driving also since Verna is non turbo n slavia is turbo...I could feel few differences in city in verna as compared to my car as both cars would get my job done.as a drive @80kmph on light foot and even braking is also minor differences As Verna costs 15.2lks n slavia costs 17.85lks OTR, I think it's would be a sensible decision to go for verna where you get good interior,features n most importantly safety package(though ADAS is missed here) rather then paying 2lks extra Just for 4 more airbags for slavia.so if going for safe feature rich car with 15lk budget then avoid slavia(2airbags) n go verna(6 airbags along with many features as complimentary) The things what I told are the ones I found out on deep comparison of both cars. I'm not saying slavia is bad n verna is good as I also own a slavia n cousin owns a verna But Verna has a slight upper hand What do you say? Plz answer

[@ikshitness]

Buddy, since you have already purchased slavia 1.5, no point comparing. Just Chill! Car is meant to be driven on road and not for comparison basis spec sheet and features. Sunroof, diamond cut alloy wheels and ADAS are useless issues to fret about. If you still are unhappy with slavia, occasionally exchange it with your cousin’s car (if possible) or last resort is to sell it and purchase verna.

[@Ayush-yn3np]

Don't think so much. Slavia looks classy and elegant verna looks funky. Anyways exterior designs are personal choice. I prefer slavia design over verna. Also this is not your last car man. Life is long and you will be in market looking for your next car in 5-7 years. Then you will be choosing from even better feature loaded new technology cars. You are above majority of indians as you can drive a 17 lak rupee car. Just floor the pedal on an open road and enjoy whenever u think so much

[@kartikkesarwani1320]

With all due respect the opinion you have on Long stall is wrong. Unfortunately we see it shared over many forums so we accept it as a fact. YOU DON'T NEED TO PUT DSG IN NEUTRAL AT THE SIGNAL WHILE WAITING FOR A GREEN LIGHT. The latest DSGs are smart to detect that car is not moving and will disengage ths clutch and move it to Neutral internally. Putting it in Neutral is actually more harmful since it's an extra shift. You can verify this by looking at the car manual that comes with Virtus. Please acknowledge this @Sunderdeep so that this misinformation is contained.The VW user manual is very clear on this.

Thank you for the tips. I have 1 question. When we stop on a red signal and press brakes (instead of putting the car to neutral), isn’t the clutch disengaged automatically which prevents its wear and tear? The clutch should not rotate with the fly wheel and so slippage, right?

[@neeljinwala]

Munish Sir, ek cheez galat batayi. Dual Mass flywheel engage disengage nahi hota hai Drive & Neutral mode pe. Dual Clutch packs hai woh engage and disengage hote hai jab Drive mode me slot karte hai tab. Jab bhi car drive mode pe ho tab clutch bite point tak engage hota hai and brakes release karne pe pura hi engage ho jata hai and power transmit hoti hai. Agar singal pe 40-50 seconds se jyada wait hoti hai car and Drive mode pe ho toh yeh clutch partial engagement ka friction and heat se DSG me problems aate hai. Dual mass flywheel ka yahan koi involvement hi nai hai. Dual mass flywheel sirf torque jerk ko smoothen karta hai. Transmission engage/disengage me uska koi role nai hai.
