    Default DSG Gearbox Problems - Fact or Fiction? – 26-02-2016,09:22 PM
    Hi all,

    I've recently been looking at a used Octavia 1.4 TSi with the DSG gearbox. I did a bit of research on the internet which threw up some questions though. I have searched the forum here but couldn't find the answers so I thought I'd ask as this seems a very friendly and knowledgeable forum

    Firstly, it seems that all DSG boxes can be prone to hesitation pulling away from roundabouts for instance. Is this true? If so is there a fix?

    Secondly, it seems that the 7 speed dry clutch DSG fitted to this car has been plagued with all sorts of mechanical problems, leading to expensive repairs outside the warranty period, whereas the 6 speed wet clutch DSG seems much more reliable. Anyone care to comment please?

    Many thanks in advance...

    If it's a clutch issue, it's gonna be friction!
