    I actually commented on the last video asking for this specific video🥳💯Personally I feel that DCT transmissions are unnecessary in regular passenger cars. The complications that come with them are not worth the gains you get in daily use especially because a well calibrated ZF can be just as good....a good example being the ZF boxes in BMWs. I think in performance vehicle eg M-cars, RS/S-audis, AMGs etc it makes sense to have a DCT but for an everyday passenger car you don't really need it....I suppose maybe you could argue fuel economy but even a ZF can perform just as well no❔️That being said I do actually like DCT boxes cuz when they work they are really good. Moral of the story manufactures should build them better.

      Having owned one in an Audi for 5 years I would definitely say it’s a joy to have in a daily car, great at both low and high speeds, beautiful smooth shifts, good consumption in a 2l engine, oil change every 60k and I’ve done it twice, would definitely have it again.

    Hello that a nice explanation but. I have a problem with my mechanic of wich I don't know if it's my gear box or that mechanic, it's a mk6 vw 7speed but. I have only. 1. 3. 5. And 7the gear...
    2. 4. 6. And reverse is not coming.. what can be the problem... kindly reply

    • @junioralvo1609
      @junioralvo1609 8 місяців тому +1

      I had the same problem .....vw mk7 didn't have some gears used to skip. Changed the clutch and it works realy well I've covered 50k more kms and not a problem till now

    • @abdul-kabiralegbe5660
      @abdul-kabiralegbe5660 8 місяців тому

      For a DSG gearbox, there are separate clutches, shafts, shift forks, solenoids for the even gears (2, 4, 6) and the odd gears (1, 3, 5). If your gearbox is a DSG, then from your complaints about the even gears not working, I think your problem could be either the even clutch and/or the actuator for the even gears. Your problem is probably mechanical.
      Hope this helps.

    • @junioralvo1609
      @junioralvo1609 8 місяців тому +1

      Yeah coz mine had no odd numbers, I tried to change it with another used clutch but didn't work. But when I imported a new clutch it worked really well, no complications ever since

    Hapa this episode kuna Biasness mob sana, to say that German vehicles last longer than their japanese counterparts ni ndoto ya kuotea asubuhi,
    Ati a german part on a german machine, the part will be more expensive than a japanese car, but will last longer before replacement, yes it will likely be more expensive, but it won't last longer than the japanese vehicles because the more engineered a vehicle is, the more it is likely to go wrong.
    Buying a vw or audi as your first vehicle, unless you come from dynasty lineage or are a tech bro, kitakuramba.
