The Official Mk6 Golf DSG Clutch / Shudder / Squeal Issues Thread

[AdamD]

Did I read last week in wheels(?) or carsguide(?) that VW Australia had extended the warranty on the 7sp DSG to 5 years/ 100K? or was that 150K.... anyway I recall thinking at the time that i should check on this site.... and I will also ask my dealer.

Hi Ryan,

When you got your clutch pack replaced, was that the new part from the MK7?

I've heard this question so many times recently I'm starting to think it must be true - but have seen nothing official from VWA. China and USA have it.

Had the same issue with my 118TSI but it happened to me only 6 months after I bought it new

What was the problem for yours and what did they do to fix it?

would one really want to drive more aggressively when one of the influencing factors to buy was the fuel economy.

This morning on my way to work my golf 90TSI completely lost all drive. If I accelerate it just revs. Had it towed to the VW dealership. This is 1 - 1.5 years (25,000-30,000 kms) after my clutch pack was replaced. The shudder had come back but I was waiting for it get more prominent before taking it to get checked out so that I can demonstrate it easily...

Time for the extended warranty to get to work!

Hi, is the shudder in the video need to change clutch?
thanks

Yes definitely! Dont want to make you feel bad, but that is the worst i have seen so far. You don't even need to mute the audio to tell it's there.

Doesn't help in peak hour traffic though, or if you have a granny in the passenger seat

Golf 7 Speed DSG shudder / clutch issues

My dealer recommended I pull off from stops or slow corners more aggressively in D....it actually works so far. Most of my judder experiences have been when driving like a granny coming out of slow uphill corners. Just putting this out there for feedback.

Think so - a friend of mine in Hong Kong changed the clutch pack as well under warranty. Better bring it back to VW HK.

Booked the car in for a new clutch pack under warranty, the shudder in 2nd gear was getting unbearable at times. Car is a 2010 Jetta 118TSI.

If you can, until you get the clutches shift the gears yourself in tiptronic mode. The mechatronics dont allow as much slip in this mode and kick down to 1st more willingly.
