Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • DSG Clutch Troubleshooting

    I have a 2013 103TSI, 7 speed dry clutch with 60k km on the clock.

    I have noticed the box selects gears that are too high for the travelling speed which lugs the engine and shakes the car, especially when climbing hills.

    The box doesn't seem to know where the friction point is when taking off from a standstill. It revs higher than expected and allows the car to roll back before eventually engaging.

    OBDEleven reports faults: P177B00, P189800, P177C00. These all point to a worn clutch pack.

    I took the car to a VW dealer workshop who advised the clutch pack is within limits according to their software.

    Can I confidently say the clutch is worn despite the VW workshop's advice?
