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?
*
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....tongue.gif

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

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

Hmm... similarly let's say if Proton were to mention their power windows depends on how the you use it. If you used it abnormally of course got problem; and said the problem was solved with WD40 spray. Can believe?


For Proton you hope no power windows problem; for VW you hope no DSG and TSI issue.

Power window switch replacement cheap only...Rm200 to Rm300 kawtim....gearbox?
Even a replacement will not fix since the problem is in the design.
And yes..I have replaced a power window switxh for my Savvy once in 7 years..no big deal.

AFAIK, Proton never mentioned WD or minyak jagung will fix power windows...
At least, no such BS...lol

This is very common problem for the 1.4 TSi engine!

I guess this is what happens when you play with Turbo...

Haha. Peace. Forgot this thread about dsg problem.. btw, not all vw breakdown due to dsg.. if electronic failure sometime only a small matter also will breakdown the car.. not recommended to drive and better to bring to nearest Service centre..

Good to know even a small problem can bring the car to it's knees!! brows.gif

The problem with Piston Failure is our petrol kinda sucks... mainly due to misfiring which killed the engine...

some friend I know killed the engine when they piggyback the ECU increasing the performance out of it but uses RON95... straight kaput then unplug the piggiback and claim new engine from VW... (I dont say all engine fail due to mods... some just plain unlucky)
*
Excellent method to claim warranty for new engine...Well done! I am sure lots of VW owners here will follow your procedures.... brows.gif

The warranty still valid on Extended warranty just need to follow the T&C laaa

if you breach the clock or the allowance 1,500KM it is your fault...

just that the insurance being an insurance they do take things SERIOUSLY.... manufacturer usually close 1 eye...

but since it involve external warranty program (like the INSURANCE) you must play by the rules
*
But i bet Extended Warranty will have lots of red tapes and small fine print to make you very difficult to make claims...

Anyone has every make a major claims using Extended Warranty?? hmm.gif

Hated SA that are hard selling. Hard to find good SA also. I remember one SA hard selling like: "this car very safe. you see the seat belt, got safety feature when emergency stop will hold you back." I would imagine the next feature will be the brakes, when you press it, the car will stop lol.
