DSG whining...

Hi All,

This is my first newbie post, so go easy on me! :D

I'm now on my 3rd Scirocco... :vibes:

First I had a manual 2009 TDI 170, then a manual 2017 R and now a DSG 2018 R.

My question relates to my 2018 DSG R, which I purchased from a VW dealer with a VW Warranty...

I've noticed the DSG gearbox is a bit 'whiney', particularly in 1st Gear pulling away slowly and also in 3rd gear around 20mph. The car has only covered 26,000 and has just had a new DSG gearbox, but it still whines :(

Is this normal, as the dealer says the older DSG boxes do whine?

Thanks guys :yes:

Cheers,

Richard.
