Last year's software update failed to solve the problem.

And I no longer have the confidence in VW that even this mechatronic replacement will fix it permanently.

That's why I'm selling off my Golf TSI and buying a Ford Focus.

The drop in build quality and refinement will be felt... but this 7 speed DSG really is a ticking time bomb.

Can't imagine owning and maintaining one when the warranty is expired.

My wife owns a Ford Fiesta and had to send the car for them to fix the gearbox. It was making annoying cranking noise. Apparently it is a known problem amongst Ford DCT too. So Ford ain't perfect but at least it was still usable (albeit that krrr krrr krrr sound) and no towing etc required.

But I still love my rocco smile.gif
