I've got a 09 Passat with the DSG gearbox and I think there may be an issue, not 100% sure. It's very subtle and hard to detect and replicate. Going round a corner and then accelerating out of it, nothing happens, there's a pause for over 1 - 2 seconds. It's not really a big problem, but definitely doesn't feel right. It only occurs occasionally. Has anyone come across this problem before? Is it something VW are aware of?

Mate, your best bet is to go to a VW dealer and get them to scan the car. There is countless threads on this site alone regarding DSG gearbox issues across the VW range.Originally posted by Zed! View Post
Problems with the DSG gearbox are by no means a rare occarance, and the reason I would never own a car that has has a DSG gearbox... In my mind they are a nightmare and a money pit waiting to happen.

100% agree with both statements. Maybe it can be solved in now time, if the scan shows a small error.Originally posted by Blitzen View PostComment

get it looked at. If there is hesitation when trying to accelerate then this is not right... the first thing they do is usually "reset" the gearbox... think this is a software thing.1974 1300 Beetle, 1997 Golf GL, 2003 New Beetle Cabrio, 2014 Audi A4 quattroComment

Ok cool thanks. I guess I was hesitating, because it's so subtle I'm not even 100% there is a problem and it's really hard to replicate, but there is something that's not quite right. I'll give em a buzz.Originally posted by blutopless2 View PostComment

This initially happened to mine and progressively got worse over time. The service department didn't initially pick it up and didn't mention that it is somewhat common occurrence.
If I'm not mistaken it has something to do with the mechatronics.
I say this because they changed two sensors then the mechatronics unit.
Now good as new. So there is hope if under warranty.Comment
