How To Repair My Gearbox DSG | Standard Exchange

What is a DSG gearbox?

DSG stands for Direct Shift Gearbox and refers to Volkswagen's dual clutch gearbox, the number indicating the number of gears. Gearbox dsg7 golf 6 and Gearbox dsg7 golf 7 are therefore the Gearbox dsg 7-speed gearboxes coupled to these models. The Gearbox dsg 6 is more commonly abbreviated to DSG6.

Coming back to the gearbox itself, it is a clever combination of the BVM and the BVA, whose construction brings together three main elements.

• The dual clutch system: each clutch is composed of a combination of discs that rarely need to be replaced. Depending on the design, the clutch pair may be oil immersed or dry running;
• Mechatronics: This technology, which enables the electronic control of the car's mechanics, engages and disengages the clutch for the driver. It adjusts gear selection using data recorded by the sensors integrated into the DSG
• The gearbox itself: the design is inspired by the BVM which has parallel shafts.

The DSG gearbox therefore offers you the comfort of a manual gearbox without taking away the control provided by a manual gearbox. The design allows for smooth gear changes that do not affect the continuity of traction force, especially during acceleration. Vehicles equipped with this system are therefore naturally conducive to agile driving.

Understanding DSG gearbox operation

It is easier to identify and deal with a problem Gearbox dsg7 or DSG6 when you understand how it works.

It is therefore important to know that the system is actually based on the combination of two half-boxes. On starting, the odd half gearbox engages first gear. The even half gearbox pre-engages the second gear. Depending on the driving conditions, the DSG shifts into second and the odd half-gearbox pre-engages third gear. When one clutch is open, the other clutch closes automatically. This process is deployed during both acceleration and deceleration.

Scheduling gear changes via the dsg6 or dsg7 gearbox avoids power losses, which is a significant advantage. In addition, you have the choice of letting the electronic system handle the selections or taking control manually. In both cases, you can be sure that a healthy gearbox will deliver impeccable results.

The number of gears is not the only difference between the DSG transmissions. In the case of a DSG6, the clutch system uses wet plates. If you have a problem with the dsg7 gearbox, you will need to find a solution that is suitable for a double dry plate clutch.

In all other respects, the operation is identical. The Gearbox dsg7 Touran will therefore have the same features and functions as the DSG7s fitted to the other models produced by Volkswagen.

How is the repair carried out Gearbox DSG6?

If you look at the Gearbox dsg 6 reviews, you will find that the annoyances encountered are much the same. For example, many users notice that the gearshift light tends to flash after a while. Others report inadequate shifting. Forums also report that downshifting is sometimes late and even unnecessary in some cases. This is without mentioning the jerking when starting and the jerking felt before the engine stops, among other common problems.

These reviews are not very flattering for the Gearbox dsg6, but it should also be noted that the majority of the problems mentioned can often be avoided. For example, regular maintenance can prevent premature wear or even breakage of the system. Similarly, your driving style will influence the life of your gearbox. Aggressive driving, for example, can damage the synchros.

The problems encountered with the Gearbox dsg7 are more or less the same: untimely downshifts, engine noises, Gearbox dsg7 dq200 breakage... Here too, maintenance will work in your favour. Changing the dsg7 gearbox at the indicated intervals will, for example, ensure the lubrication of the components.

When faced with a malfunction, it is advisable to note each symptom. If possible, note the times at which they occur: between 1st and 3rd gear, during deceleration, after a certain number of kilometres have been driven, etc. Rather than attempting to repair the car at home, contact a professional who is familiar with the architecture and operation of DSGs. The precise identification of the origin of the fault is the only guarantee that the repair will be appropriate.

Depending on the case, the garage can refill the oil Gearbox dsg6 or DSG7. He may also recommend an oil change. As these standard operations are not always sufficient to resolve a breakdown, it is possible that the gearbox will have to be dismantled in order to carry out a complete diagnosis. This complex operation requires specific know-how and tools.

In the event that a replacement is required, it is advisable to enquire in advance about Gearbox dsg6 price or the cost of a DSG7. Your garage can include this in their quotation and make the purchase. However, it will be safer and more economical to do it yourself, provided you go to a shop that specialises in this type of product. The craftsman will only take care of the removal, assembly and adjustment, which will reduce the final bill.
