Anyone changed DSG oil for DQ200 gearbox?..
I have exceeded 120,000 mileage and was advised to change the oil..

So far only changed clutch pack once and no issue since 2012..

You can change it because the oil is not expensive. If your warranty is over, try Vagtechnik. Because gear oil is not expensive... no harm.

Your lucky because your mileage 120k and just replaced clutch once only. My mileage about 80k already replace twice under warranty.
Now I am thinking to sell this car next year. Due to the dry clutch is a wear and tear part, I feel it need to be replaced every 40k. Mostly city drive,30% highway only.

Try to avoid VW , if wanna get a VW buy the wet clutch.

Thanks mate.... I have tried Vagtechnik for 2 years... thinking of changing workshop next month..
I also avoiding VW for my next purchase.. its not because of the gearbox but other stuff like speed sensor, ignition system, ignition cable, transformer, gasket leak suspension issue.. I am lucky DSG didnt give me issues but other stuff already kept me very busy.. also changing clutch pack after warranty is dxmn expensive..

Dry clutch or Wet clutch, I am avoiding conti cars all together..
They say life is too short to drive nice cars.. but i say life is too short and dont waste time visiting workshop.. lol...
Already owned a conti car in my life time, dream fulfilled, just move on and do other more important stuff..

Haha same thoughts here. German car, unfortunately you got VW as your first choice. Mercedes seem quite good without many problems.

Everyone says the same thing, for realibility go for Japanese car. Look at conti cars second hand value you will know. My friends Honda Jazz first generation 2008 CBU until 2019, no gearbox or engine big issue. Just changed to 3rd generation lols. Next car will change to Japanese car too

I have a fren owned a E250 W212 facelift, spend RM60k to repair although bought new and service center say those parts doesnt cover under warranty... fulamak..
In general, German always push the latest tech into their cars, it is common to have certain amount of reliability issues, and German spend more cost in interior and need to cut cost else where, thus you can find plastic parts under the hood. Not only save cost but also reducing rattle sound. Plastic and rubber have less rattling sound then metal..

I have nothing against conti car, really nice to drive and refined.. just that you need a lot of love to own one... and it constantly broke my heart.. hahah

you guys mean Passat CC ? Around year 2011? I think because it's not using dry clutch 7 speed maybe is 6 speed wet clutch so it's stable

Those Passat CC in the early days actually paired the 2.0tsi with a 6 speed torque converter..

I heard from a friend (mechanic) who has another friend which is VW dealer, don't dare to go office and everyday headache because got fucked upside down by customers everyday.
Even received plenty lawyer letters. Think he's gonna give up VW dealership soon.

These conti are designed to fail. A water pump in a Japanese car is made of solid aluminium, can run well into 300-400,000km range.

Conti water pump is made of plastic housing, even rotor blade too
How could you use plastic in a place of high heat, constant pressure and vibration and expect it not to fail ??
So their engineers have planned the failure of material ahead, the water pump sure fail right about 5years.

Mechatronics unit controller board which is an electronic board constantly get cooked by hot temperatures 80-100°C due to hot gear oil you think can last how long ?

Holly shxt.... Wearnes pulling out from the dealership tells a lot about VW future in Msia...
Although I Fxxx them for warranty claims before, but i think they are the better one compare to the rest..

Hi, what was the repair needed for that model which need rm60k ya? My sister do had this car from brand new and im kinda interested to buy it from her.

My experience it is easy to claim warranty under mercedes sc than honda sc. Honda sc treatment/warranty claim are different from each sc, some sc are known to help customers really well for warranty claim etc

Part of it was the rim crack as the profile was low.. and other than that not too sure...
