Im on my second gear box. Was quiet after the change back in January rattles again now. Learning to live with it. Seems at its worst when the gear box is not under load. Qudible clunks when changing up and down though.

I wouldn't be going to watchdog about just the dsg I would be having a word about all the engine issues and missfire problems
I'm not going to drive over nasty roads in 3rd/4th gear, max I do is 2nd @ manual and about 30km/h. Still I can hear the clunks.
not happy, going up to

My cupras just clocked 27k and the dsg has never put a foot wrong it clunks a little when going in and out of d but over bumps etc its no worse than all the squeaks and rattles the car has developed and i agree with mardon the engine is a biggers issue imo the dsg is just seak not knowing how to maintain our cars or diagnose problems.

Engine is a bigger issue?
What problems have people been having?
Mine has just been the DSG bad rattle so far
Apparenlty VAG have been forced to give 10 year warranty on DSG box in the states.
Make it happen here.

Journalist has spoken with SEAT. Their answer to him was pretty much the same as to the rest of us. Tuff get on with it!

SEAT said that the box fitted to our cars is a very compact unit and thats the reason why things knock into each other causing the noise
An absolute joke
As an engineer myself by trade I have never heard such rubbish
Pieces of metal clattering together within a gearbox will not and shall never ever be descibred as normal. Other than when the VW group wanting to avoid admitting there is an issue.
If I had engineers working my company and they came out with such rubbish they wouldnt be in a job the following day!

What's the next step then? Journalist has given up??
It's a dry DSG box so it will make a noise, just like the engine makes a noise (other than the sound of exploding fuel). The wet-DSG boxes don't rattle because they're cased in oil. I reckon tbh the dry-DSG rattle is just following the law of unintended outcomes. by removing the oil you reduce the drag and friction losses caused by the DSG box resulting in more economy, but obviously the noise increase is an oversight.
The 10yr warranty is for the wet boxes which have adifferent issue to the dry boxes.
