Yeah the DSG getting slippy real quick

I will take that as a cry for help

Not that i expect you to learn but others hopefully will benifit

When releasing brake at lights and esp uphill wait till you feel dsg clutch engage it feels like a little jerk or bump
then accelerate away, don't mash throttle as soon as you can
Don't creep in traffic with foot on the brake its like slipping the clutch on a manual gearbox sure to burn the clutch out
wait till you have a gap take foot off brake and move up stop rinse/repeat
Drive smoothly you can fool computer in gearbox and make it do all sorts of funny things if you play around with accelerator pedal
don't! drive smooth flow with traffic look ahead read traffic 200 mtrs ahead
If your stomping on throttle and brake all the time you are doing it wrong smooth and flowing will get you there just as fast and less wear on your car(with the added bonus of being relaxed at end of drive)
i drive a vry large truck all day with extreme close driving(missing cars poles ect by inches all day) and my boss loves me i dont hit anything and my truck lasts longer and breaks down less than any other in fleet despite being the oldest should have been retired 2 years ago but i am still driving it as it lasts..... Why? smooth driving go and releax flow and you will benefit as well

However, DSG are all quite easy to break in my opinion. Whichever dry or wet, it burns the clutch pads.

I do have extended warranty so I dont mind those issues too much.

Dealer will always give it a new clutch pad but It is just quite annoying that you need to fix the clutch like every year.

Anyway I will keep an eye on it then maybe fix the issues with dealer one day.

So to summarise, you say your near new car has a mechanical problem but rather than take it to a dealer to get it looked at, you would rather leave it and potentially risk greater damage whilst posting a number of threads in this forum complaining about it. Then you make ridiculous and patently untrue statements about all DSGs being prone to failure and requiring clutch replacements every year.

I've been driving DSG equipped cars for 11 years now and never had an issue with any of them and know many others with similar experiences so to me your credibility is zero.

Stop posting crap and take your car to the dealer.

Yep those are good advices.

Thanks

I basically want to see how the car improved from my 2013 Golf mk7

Warranties run out eventually ... so how many DSG boxes have you broken ? Maybe stick with a generic automatic or CVT for your next gearbox as history has shown that the DSG box is not as forgiving as an auto box if it is "not driven right". Yup, just like a manual car with a clutch, you can actually drive a DSG equipped car incorrectly, which is probably very annoying to some owners that have not been advised on how to correctly use one.
