Dear Gentlemens
Am calling anyone here who bought a 2012 or 2013 golf 1.6 dsg 7 or who know's someone who did, Unfortunately I bought
my golf 1.6 new from the showroom, apparently I am facing such an annoying issue with my gear DSG 7, the car have such a strange obvious sound of rattling or steel scratch I simply don't know how to express it specially when the car shifts from 2nd to third gear and @ lower rpm on the third gear, also when am stuck in a traffic the sound start to be obvious when the car starts moving from ideal... Man the car sounds like a 20 years old
After surfing the web , I can conclude there is a big issue with the dsg 7 in europe and china ( China recalled 380000 units) and extended the warranty to 10 years / 160000 km, I did complain here in the showroom somehow the first service advisor did hear the sound, there after my service advisor been changed with another service advisor and I was told this sound normal since the DSG is a manual gearbox and thats a normal sound ( I simply had to smile !!! )
When I was heading out the main entrance I got lucky to meet with someone who just passed infront of me and YES he had the exact same car, did ask him about the issue and he said:
Man the gear on this thing are dangerous, he stated that the dealer have already changed his gear and here he was after 12000 Km he's back again with the same issue.
I did test drive another car in the showroom but the sound difference is really a big difference...
I really appreciate any help,
Good luck if you are buying a new golf !!!
