VW recalls 80,000 cars over DSG transmission problems

Troubled tech could bring VW-Audi-Skoda owners in for a second recall to remedy loss in power, preventing cars from restarting.

Nearly four million cars owned by Australians are to be compulsorily recalled due to faulty and at worst deadly airbags.

Volkswagen and Audi will recall about 80,000 cars built between 2009 and 2015 to address a potential transmission flaw. 

Dual-clutch transmissions marketed as “DSG” can suffer what VW describes as “an interruption of power” before going into a low-speed limp-home mode.

Once the car stops, the brand says “the car cannot be restarted except after attention by a qualified Volkswagen technician”.

The problem stems from a hydraulic pressure accumulator housing component that was manufactured incorrectly.

VW Golf, Polo, Jetta, Beetle, Passat and Caddy models are affected. Skoda vehicles including the Fabia, Rapid, Octavia, Yeti and Superb are affected.

Volkswagen says about 23,000 cars may be affected by the issue — and that it wants to check a further 40,000 cars to be sure.

Audi will take similar action with 14,000 vehicles.

Volkswagen Australia executive Jason Bradshaw says VW decided to take an “extra step” to keep customers safe.

“While we know that some 23,000 vehicles may have this incorrectly manufactured component, we cannot be certain of identifying these by Vehicle Identification Number alone,” he says.

“We want to physically examine them and those with a potentially faulty component can have it replaced.

“Volkswagen Group Australia could have carried out this part replacement in a service campaign, but we decided that a recall better served the interests of clarity and communications with customers and the media.”

VW says the issue is not related to the 2013 recall to check transmissions in 25,698 vehicles made during 2008-13 that required the replacement of the mechatronics unit, but that “some vehicles involved then might also be affected now”.

Yup. They can call it whatever they like. 

 

Consumer just have to look at the cost margin.

To me , 161k would be about right and close door invite at 152k. But thats not going to be worth the time selling since the margin and comms are not as good.

How to drive prosche if comms low?

Hi Guys

Juzz bought myself a 2012 Beetle with a DQ200 DSG Dry

I have done all the Fluid /oil/Atf replacement.

Is there anything I should be concern abt?

Somebody is offering a OEM Clutch plate  change @ 600 plus.

Or should i use onli Original VW stuff.

Thanks in advance.

no juddering when moving off no need to change clutch plate

only have to be mentally prepared for mu failure which can occur when you least expect it or at an inconvenient time

I thought VW sorted out DSG issue in 2018? I am sorry to hear that

 

anyway, don’t darn to walk into VW showroom since I got burned in 2013 when I got a Passat back then. Endured 9 month of ownership with “excellent” after sale service in VW Singapore . Sold it after the MU repaired by VW.

Just 1 question, what’s the difference between DSG and the s tronic used by Audi? How abt BMW’s steptronic and Merc’s DCT? I am comparing these gearboxs used by entry level cars by these brands? I searched online and saw that basically DCT, DSG and s tronic are the same, just different naming. Can anyone enlighten me? 

[Wt_know]

it's the legendary DQ200 dry clutch gearbox

VW, Seat, Skoda and Audi ... all are affected if fitted with DQ200

not sure whether BMW and Merc got used "dry" 

dry vs wet  ... that's the difference

for VW/Audi as long as the torque is above 250Nm ... no scare because it is not DQ200 (max torque 250Nm)

The salesman will always say it was solved last year. The service was pretty good though, but reliability is insanely bad...
