In our auto repair shop, we offer diagnostics, repair, and scheduled maintenance for Seat cars equipped with DSG-6 and DSG-7 transmissions. Direct Gearbox The differences between DSG and other automatic transmissions. The technology involves combining two clutches and two gearboxes into one, for even and odd gears. As a result, gear shifting occurs almost instantly. One of the main advantages of this type of transmission is smooth and comfortable driving, as well as lower fuel consumption. DSG Transmission Maintenance DSG-6 and DSG-7 Transmissions - Features and Differences Currently, two types of semi-automatic transmissions are installed in VAG cars. The six-speed DSG-6, introduced in 2003, features a "wet" clutch, which positively affects the transmission's operation and the durability of its components. The seven-speed DSG-7 transmission has been in production since 2008 and is primarily intended for low-displacement vehicles. Unlike its six-speed counterpart, the DSG-7 transmission, especially in its early models, suffered from significant shortcomings and, consequently, operational issues. DSG7 and DSG6 Repairs Due to the widespread use of semi-automatic transmissions in the VAG Group, opinions on their quality and lifespan vary greatly. Some people have no issues with their cars even after covering more than 150,000 kilometers, while others require DSG repairs after just 60,000 kilometers. However, the long and trouble-free operation of the unit primarily depends on proper driving habits and the quality of technical maintenance. DSG Repair - Work for Professionals The DSG transmission consists of a mechanical part and a control unit called mechatronics. In some types of direct gear transmissions (DSG), mechatronics is installed inside the gearbox, making it vulnerable to temperature and pressure changes. A unique feature of mechatronics repair in VAG cars is that replacing this module requires the mechanical part to be in perfect condition. If there are issues with the mechanical part, your car won't move. This peculiarity, along with other nuances in DSG transmission repair, is well-known to our auto repair shop's professionals. We always advise our customers to undergo a complete diagnosis and transmission check before proceeding with repair work. Primary Indicators of DSG-7 Transmission Malfunctions:
