Dear All,
I am new to this forum.
4 days ago, i got a new Seat Ibiza 2010, 1.6 L, with DSG 7 gearbox.
From the moment i took it from the dealership, i can hear noises whenever the gear is changing from 1 to 2, 2 to 3, 4 to 5 and backwards and whenever i drive on a bump.
Sounds like pipe noises, or metal banging together.
Plus, when i stop on a slope and press on break, and when i need to accelerate, the car shifts backwards, and then accelerates viguourously.
The car has only 400 Kms!!!!
I went to the dealership garage, and they told me that this is something very normal! all ibizas with DSG 7 make noises like this!
is it true? are you guys having these weird noises?
It is something really embarrassing, and i feel like i made the wrong choice by buying an IBIZA.
Your comments are really appreciated!
Many thanks in advance
Update: April 20, 2010
Went to the after sales service today and met with the manager.
We went for a ride in the car, and he confirmed that he is hearing the noises, but informed me that these noises are normal and that the DSG 7 is like this! I simply cannot believe that a new gearbox should make noises while changing!!!!!! noises like some pipes rattling together!!
I informed him that yesterday i went for a ride with a friend of mine who has the same model, Ibiza 2010 with DSG & gearbox that was bought 6 months ago, with the same DSG 7 gearbox, and there was no noises whatsoever!! He said no, all the cars come with these noises!
This is unbelievable, a car that has only 500 Kms , making noises when changing gears from 1 to 2, 2 to 3, 4 to 5, and making noises on roads that are not flat or that has some bumps, and the dealership denying that there is a problem!
Plus, why is the gearbox making noises on these shifts only, and not making noises while changing other shifts?
Is it something normal for a car to have gearbox noises when it had only 30 Kms?
Plus, sometimes, while car is in neutral, and i put on Reverse mode, it starts to act in a jurky way, just like the driver is someone who is driving the car for the first time and doesn't know how to use a clutch. This is something not comfortable, and not safe!!! I'm feeling that driving my ibiza is affecting my personal safety.
The car has now 500 kms, and the noises are still the same ( if not getting worse!!!!)
When i asked the manager to provide me with a report stating that i came to the after sales garage 1 hour after i got the car from the dealership, with 30 Kms driven only,complaining about these rattling noises and weird DSG 7 functioning, he refused to provide me with one, and told me he had to get back to his manager and that he will call me with his reply.
This is something really frustrating and embarrassing and is pissing me off, and i feel like i am cheated and lied to to buy a car that does weird noises while changing the gears or while driving on bumpy or not flat roads!!!!! Come on, we are talking about Seat!!! not some Cheap car manufacturer!!!!!!!!
