Hi all,
Thought i would update on the clicking ticking noise.
After the ECU update, there was no change to the noise, in fact it progressively got worse. I would get up to speed merging onto the freeway and the transmission would just sound like it had no idea what to do. It was like it was cycling through gears trying to make a decision which one to use. The car would rev and there would be no drive response. I would turn the car off and start it up, put it in drive and it would take of clicking again. Second issue was pulling up to a red light. while the dsg passes from second to first it would jerk forward.. kind of dangerous so i had to make sure i was parked. far enough from the car in front.
Finally after 7 weeks, going on 8, VW have 'faulted' the transmission and are replacing it. Im told it will be here tomorrow and i should be back in the car by friday.
Good outcome finally, after battling to get them to do something about it..
Mine's a 118 DSG.
no noise that I can discern from the DSG.
Noise I get is:
a) Supercharger clutch chirp when it engages? at low speeds/rpm
b) Clicking sound in drivers door on rough road. Does not appear when window is wound down.
c) Clunk in boot area when going over speed bumps. (not spare wheel or tool kit)
Latest on Sunday, Car goes forward when DSG selected in reverse. Level ground. OK after recycling gears
Ok, had the car at the dealer to attend to my problem
The chirping sound was attributed to a defective water pump (it shares drive with the supercharger) and changed. Car is now quiet on that front.
They were unable to isolate the rattle in the door and so not fixed
They tried tightening suspension components in the rear but the 'clunk' still remains.
Will attempt fix next week when I rotate the tyres.
I just got my replacement car, its a March 09 build
