Hello Good People!
My daughter recently bought 2010 CC, 137k. Seems to run well and no complaints thus far. Ok, minor complaint- it's the hesitation from a stop. Kinda scary, but from what I read this is normal. Apparently it's because of the DSG, no matter the car. I guess I'm looking for confirmation that it's normal for peace of mind. I guess I don't understand why the delay from gas to accelerated movement.
Thank you. .
Well I never buy Volkswagen myself but realize that the well-made transmissions of that style are excellent and did not hesitate at all there's obviously something starting to wear which is typical on a Volkswagen with that mileage
Thanks, Scotty.
Listen to Scotty.
If she can still return that car & get a full refund, I recommend she does that & get something else. If not, put it up for sale & someone might still pay a lot for that.
The electronics may start to act up in an old VW and then she’ll be really wishing she’d gotten something else.
Like you read elsewhere, the DSG is notorious for the rough low speed shift behaviour which VW palms off as normal.
If she must have a German car, she’s better off leasing a brand new one.
Thanks!
No worries.
Hesitation on a dual clutch automatic just means something somewhere is slightly starting to go bad… it’ll eventually turns into hard shifts, crunching or jerking - and then you’d typically have to choose between using it until it gets completely destroyed or putting in a lot of money into repairs.
I agree with @InThrustWeTrust, DSGs are total money pits. When it starts to age and begins to have issues it will just continue to fall apart…
