    Having always been a manual gearbox devotee in the past, I can honestly say moving to the DSG in my Alhambra have been a revelation.

      Me too, they actually have more plus points that a manual now.

    Hi there! I recently subscribed to your channel and watched a few videos.
    I'm from the Philippines, and DCT vehicles have only been available here for a couple of years. I now own one and would really appreciate it if you could share some tips on the safe and correct way to drive a DCT. Our Facebook group is also curious, especially about whether we need to shift to Neutral in traffic, like we would with a manual car.
    Thanks so much!

      There is a hot debate around this. Personally for short waits I will keep it in D and hold the foot brake down hard (don't rely on the handbrake). There is a risk of slipping off the brake and rolling forward with this approach. There are also potentially additional wear problems on older models (pre 2010) with the Brake & D approach which is why there is so much debate about this. Newer engines will use the clutch to disengage the gearbox in this situation.
      Bear in mind that pressing brake will dazzle cars behind you at night, so I would use N at night and pull on the handbrake.
      For longer waits use N when the stop start has switched off the engine.

      Thanks for your reply!
      I watched this video, but I'm not sure if it applies to the WET DCTs we have here. The person in the video mentioned that the clutches are partially disengaged when stopped.

      Do you think it's a good idea to shift to neutral if the traffic light is going to be more than 30 seconds? For stop-and-go traffic, I try to avoid inching forward and use the Autohold feature instead.

    Both are expensive to repairs if you don’t keep up with maintenance.

      Is there anything more than the 3 year/30k service?

    • @KeithPatrick-wo5cw
      @KeithPatrick-wo5cw 7 місяців тому

      It indeed if you get an early one. I ended up with a bill of way more than the car was worth when it was in 50k km and 5yrs old. That was the day I fell out of love with VAG group…

      I love the DSG but I just had to replace the dual mass flywheel which was $2700 for the VW part including labor. They tell me that is normal wear and tear after 200k miles.

    • @agrubera75
      @agrubera75 7 місяців тому

      All the VAG manufacturers say the gearboxes are "sealed for life" so no servicing needed which is false because the end of the life of your gearbox will be the last day of it. They need servicing after 100k miles ( filter+oil) as for the automatic ones and every 30-50k miles for the manual ones. But if you do that every 100k miles on a DSG you can save a lot of trouble and money.
      I assume you are in US or Canada which is unfortunate because yiu won' have access to cheap parts. The price of a dual mass flywheel is approx £400 + labour so roughly £800 in the UK

    How a good DCT can be faster than a good CVT ? Not possible. CVT can put the engine always in top power while DSG can not.

    • @torquecars
      @torquecars  Місяць тому

      I have experienced a very fast 7 and 8 speed DCT and the gear changes felt instantaneous. I have not had much experience driving a CVT though other than a Toyota which was very smooth but seemed to choose a softer ratio for accelerating than I would have liked.
      I'm interested to hear your experiences though, I have an open mind.

      @@torquecars The way today CVT designed is not good (bad we can say) you are right. But on paper a good CVT can not be beaten. It is all about producing most hp at all times and CVT can produce this without clutching.

      CVT also has disadvantageous though. It is developed to be cheap rather than performance oriented. I read thay can not handle too much power.
