Volkswagen Explains DSG gearbox

[@harrytaylor-fullwood5140]

Anyone elses video lose sound half way through then get it back after?

[@John..18]

I lost it and turned it off...

[@keithharley9729]

Yes

[@thestalicho]

The sound droppedout around half way.

[@Khusta...Ngcupe]

Same here, it just muted while listening

[@ashleymillin2798]

Almost seems intentional as that is the most critical part of this presentation

[@gromett]

Audio gives up just as they are explaining how it works. That is what I was watching the video for... Grrr.

[@alexmoldovan8524]

far far the best in the business, i have 20 tdi dsg Scirocco.....the best

[@ramonaragondiaz9258]

DSG best transmission where there was a recall in 2009 when cars would get the flash of death (Flashing PRNDS) and your vehicle would get into neutral and you have to turn off you car in order to get it working again. Best mechatronic unit reliability where you can have 20000 miles and it already failed. When you want to shift into reverse from drive and your transmission gives out because it's faulty. Perfection

[@michaelmarcus4343]

Formidable engineering and so easy to use for the end user!!!

[@Coordinator61]

And all DSG gearboxes break down.

[@wattjob69]

@@Coordinator61but they are still the best gearbox for a sports car 10 years later 🤷‍♂️

[@Coordinator61]

@@wattjob69 not for me just 6 speed stick or normal automatic these dsg stuff go bust every one of them.

[@domino6434]

maybe because you dont do any maintnence? i have a golf 5 DSG with 270k km on the dash no failiures so far@@Coordinator61

[@bobratu9029]

best gearbox for the moment.by far.

[@brianwgDK]

Looking back, the first 5 versions veer not good, but after that, love it :-)

[@Visionery1]

No sound from 3:30 - 4:20?

[@gandalfwiz20007]

I am always thinking what happens when those clutches wear out

[@kevalvadhadiya7035]

Rough shifting and Jerk

[@panzerveps]

You replace them....

[@W0LV1E45]

same thing happens to a manual. jerkiness or you can't move.

[@keithharley9729]

I wouldn't hesitate to say that some transmission problems turn out to be the dual mass flywheel. I had one go on my 2006 Jetta TDI and my 2017 Jetta GLI 6 speed manual. The one on my GLI cost me $3000. I was pretty angry about that. I have the flywheel and clutch and just 1 rivet caused it to fail. I'm not impressed.

[@severianoneto]

Dry clutch it’s gonna wear much faster no? What’s the difference between their manual from VW? Because their manual still is cheaper.

[@air5002]

In the cost comparison matrix the information doesn't concur fully with what the narrator is saying. Perhaps some might be able to explain how 'the DSG is ahead in terms of cost alone'. There's some 56 secs of sound missing from 3:16 to 4:12, which is disappointing, because this video would appeal to the more technically minded of us. People who buy DSG specifically because of its performance advantages would be fascinated to see the video if is was complete.

[@MegaSomveer]

Very informative!

[@moseskata5801]

I love vw cars

[@WSSH2023]

amazing gearbox if you know how to use it correctly

[@wingsdesire1]

Is it me or does this sound like the guy who explains the iPhones in the Apple adverts

[@mhandobrian]

Sir Jonathan Paul "Jony" Ive sounds like him but it's not him

[@giorgio7679]

Brand new 2019 VW Transporter 15.000 km. Gearbox gone, rear main seal leaking!!

[@scgray05]

Cost 0??? At ~$9500 USD for a new/replacement OEM unit (Audi)--these things are not cheap! Nor is it easy to find anyone capable or willing to repair one given the low risk vs. reward in doing so (at least not once you are dealing with issues inside the gear box). When serviced and not leaking fluid, they are hard to rival, but if one starts to fail or lets go, plan on dropping some dough. I am about to pay $4500 all-in on a salvage unit including flat rate shipping and install given the code on my unit is so rare.

My Polo does not even have 50 000km on and the DSG is giving a warning. Apparently a faulty microswitch. Will cost thousands. I should have stayed with Volvo.

[@brianwgDK]

That should be covered with warranty?

Why dsg 7 speed failed in india ????

[@emrex6977]

Because not having good roads

Plagued by BIG AND MANY PROBLEMS! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct-shift_gearbox - problems and recalls section - you will see a long list of documented cases all over the world! Also see VW forums! Not convinced yet? Get one and have fun! 😉

[@domino6434]

i have a golf 5 with DSG and it has 270k km on the dash NO BIG AND MANY PROBLEMS . WHY? BECAUSE I TAKE CARE OF MY CAR

[@pederdich8732]

Sound disappear half way through the film :-/

[@tommytalker3416]

Now buddy can unterstand what the VW is talking about. As far as one can make a decision out of the animations, it takes only clear, that this technologie is worth because not depending on rules for a a long technical life.

[@kennethmidtskogen7886]

DSG is the worst possible gearbox ever made. Wear out quickly if u live in a hill like place or if u tow a trailer more than 300kg.... Special place inn hell for the ppl that designed this

[@debrajohnson4689]

I have no reverse now thanks

[@muhammadtofiq4451]

What did you understand

[@aselene8890]

In england it doesn't make any sense, but can see why for left hand driving vehicles. Still prefer manual driving in england. Great fun.

[@erikeggenbakstad]

Your comment doesn't make any sense either. So I guess it all balance out then 👍

[@fractalofgod6324]

Yeah got to love constantly dipping the clutch a thousand times driving nose to tail in the UK traffic. Great fun.

[@SuperMP3]

After 10 years on the market, the results appear that the mechatronics will be malfunction after 100 km usage and you have to replace it, cost you a lot.....

[@MrDINODINO74]

... formidable but wen is gone is gone. My DSG left me wen I needed most, and to repair it cost me a fortune. 1400 pounds megatronic unit, 1200 flywheel and clutch and another 1000 some forks are labour . This gearbox was loosen power from the day I have it around 49000 miles and because I am a ignorant and I didn't inform my self I pay the price. This transition is made to make money from the clients nothing more, is terrible in the city because is running out the clutch , and need maintenance every 40000 miles and is not very cheap either . 10000 sterling pounds + for this comfort is not worth it .

[@MrDINODINO74]

... last updated. Price for spare parts from Volkswagen are 1400 £ for megatronic unit 1250 £ clutch, and 1350 flywheel , and that if you are a garage, if not price is bigger. To repair your megatronic unit 450£ + vat , replacement refurbished 655 + vat with life time guarantee, if you don't live long, Clutch 350 £ flywheel 4500 from LUK , and 8 hours labour , and that if you lucky to catch a good match , I had the opportunity to catch 2 broken one and a bank holiday and I became gold client on the rental company. Now, maybe I had bad luck ,but this story with megatronic broken took 2 months 3000 sterling pounds labour and spare parts, and 4000 pounds van rental, so I ca go to work and pay for all of this.

[@MrDINODINO74]

@@Eddingtonification how is this help me?

[@jdubsteachings]

The 6 speed DSG is the better transmission. The 7 speed has dry clutches and is much less reliable

[@khutsobrian5952]

the wet clutches 6 speed is not reliable at all due to oil contamination clogging up the mechatronics unit solenoids

[@jdubsteachings]

The dry clutch version wasn't around nearly as long. Yes, earlier in production the 6 speed was suspect to break down. But it was used for so long the kinks got worked out. I have a 2012 6 speed and it shifts like butter at 90k

[@erikeggenbakstad]

@@khutsobrian5952 Not correctly. There was some problems with wrong use of hydraulic oil in the megatronic unit from factory but is upgraded to a better oil now.
