【Owner Experience】
My Volkswagen Sagittarius, mentioned in February 2019, 1.4T+7DCT, has only been open for 3 years and 60,000 kilometers, the gearbox is broken, the noise is particularly serious, Volkswagen's dry dual clutch transmission, I can only use two words to describe: spicy chicken!
The dry double clutch gearbox itself is no problem, usually built casually, starting with five thousand revolutions can resist, and it will not be carefully opened like Nissan's CVT gearbox.
But! Don't get stuck in traffic! As long as there is a traffic jam, the clutch pieces will burn you red!
If you live in the prairie, the car is scrapped, and there may be no problem with the gearbox. But if you live in the city, get stuck in traffic for ten minutes in the summer, and then start over, the gearbox noise is particularly serious. The dry double clutch is the most junk of all the gearboxes, and it costs three or four thousand to change one. I just ask, how many three or four thousand a month do you earn?
【Owner's feeling】
Anyway, I will not buy Volkswagen's dry double clutch anymore, personal advice:
1, tens of thousands of dollars to buy a domestic car, anyway, no face, domestic cars spend tens of thousands of dollars to enjoy the configuration of hundreds of thousands of joint venture cars, this is so cool!
2, more than 100,000 to 200,000 or so to buy Japanese cars, must avoid the public's dry double clutch, there is a count, sagitar all series are dry, or add money to buy Passat, Maiteng, because these two cars are wet double clutch, and dry type is not the same, or buy Japanese in a down-to-earth manner!
3, more than 200,000 to 300,000 to buy second-tier luxury brands, more than 30 on the BBA!
Remember one sentence: don't buy Volkswagen's dry double clutch, don't buy Lexus at a markup!
Volkswagen's dry dual-clutch gearbox has indeed always had the problem of abnormal noise and frustration, and many car owners have complained about this problem, but the statement given by the 4S shop is generally a sentence: "This problem is a common disease, and it is not good to repair." ”
Structurally speaking, the dry double clutch transmission heat dissipation is indeed not as good as the wet double clutch, so in the frequent stop-and-go section, the dry double clutch transmission is easy to overheat, because when the traffic jam, the vehicle frequently accelerates and decelerates, the transmission often switches between 1st gear and 2nd gear, and the clutch friction plate is easy to overheat.
In fact, the car that drives the Volkswagen dry-type dual-clutch transmission has a small skill, that is, when the traffic jams, switch to manual mode, artificially lock the gear, do not let it shift gears, naturally there will be no friction heating, the disadvantage is that the fuel consumption may be higher and the driving experience will not be very comfortable.
