Hye there, im googling around and cannot find, is dsg gearbox fixed after change to mineral oil? Is there any dsg breakdown after change the oil?

Mine... I'm waiting to change the clutch...

My problem came right after they made the mineral oil + settings change... damn...

last week happened once where my car feels like almost stopped and go... that's the worst so far...

Normally it judders... but still going fine... so far no breakdown... but the feeling is uncomfortable...

Apparently some silly excuse/solution made up by VW, otherwise they will go bankrupt to replace all the DSG gearbox..or worse, replace everyone's car with a Saga...wait, maybe 2nd option is cheaper than replacing gearbox....

I'm not surprise if cooking oil could solves the DSG problems.

Last time people drive Volkswagen they ask you about your success. Now they will ask you about your gearbox.

Later if mineral oil cannot, then say minyak jagung, kelapa sawit , soya etc.

My sister and her husband considered VW but ultimately rejected it due to the infamous DSG issue and aftersales.

The irony is, they were considering the CKD polo hatch, which is using the Aisin slushbox. After I informed her that the CKD polo is not affected, the poor reputation of their aftersales ultimately put her off (unlike me, she haz fesbuk). See, even a non car-person like her knows about VW's woes.

She ended up booking a new Honda City.

tats a good one...

Toyota salesman, is it?

I think it's too early to tell if mineral oil has fixed the problem, if they have internally changed the gearbox to fix the problem but are afraid to tell because then owners will ask for a recall, or whatever else could be.

It will take a few years before we really know if things have improved, and how much.

Olive oil extra virgin.

But from what I read on the net, some hv no issue with the gearbox but some hv major issue that need to replace the gearbox.. thats show that the gearbox is really unpredictable..

I really love their engine.. (already book jetta.) Even though I heard many problem with the gearbox.. but some of my friend doesnt hv any problem with dsg...

got problem also won't tell u la

This article just came out today:

human natural haha

I think the DSG problem is largely depend on the way you drive, the road condition and weather. If you like to accerelate your car from stand still quickly, and most of the time you driving this way, then good luck to you. The other problem is traffic jam, if you use to drive on heavy jam condition, then your DSG will also greeting into trouble after 2-3years. If the the weather is pretty hot and humid, then your DSG will get into trouble more quickly.

That article is just for reference lar... I'm not saying VW is reliable...
