    I'm in the midst of getting a dsg transmission repaired and it could cost as much as $4000.

Failures have occurred between 10k and 100k miles. The internal construction of the flywheel is improper and will separate leading to the total failure of the unit.

The car has been maintained since new by a dealer here in eastern canada. My request to check the noise at each dealer service did not identify the problem. I did not press the issue because it could only be heard at idle, outside the car. Well after the car was out of warranty, i…
