According to VW, the DSG gearbox will only defect in certain country such as Asia because of the humid and hot weather plus heavy traffic, eg. traffic jam, hump, traffic lights, that's mean the DGS gearbox cannot withstand those start stop traffic condition. The problem now is what kind of method VW will use to repair the DSG problem? Will they just repair back the DSG and redesign the whole DSG gearbox?

This is a clear admission the DSG gb is faulty. If it is unbale to operate under certain conditions,then it is a faulty product. It certainly needs further development. The call backs are a testament to it's defect.

As callbacks are numerous and in different countries, fixing the gb with the same designed parts is unsatisfactory. It only delays occurrence of the same problem. Research and redesigned of the defective parts is necessary.

VW owns a duty of care to customers. If by use of VW products a customer is endangered,VW will be liable to legal action. These sorts of legal actions may be rare in Bolehland,at least buyers beware!
