Are 7 Speed DSG as Reliable as 6 Speed DSG? | AskDap

Just trying to know what kind of dsg use audi a3 2.0 2018 😭, dq250 or 381?

DSG is King

The DQ200 7-spd dsg is the one to watch out for. It's a dry clutch, quick, light and all but it have a relative low tolerance for wear with heaver engines and stop-and-go traffic.

It’s been 2 years since this video. Is there a final verdict on the GTI 6 speed DSG vs 7 speed DSG when it comes to tuning, power handling, and overall reliability?

Possible do swap from DQ250 to DQ381 from Tigun 2.0TSI 190hp?

Whatever u do just dont get a MQB car with the DQ381 7 speed. They come in the 2017+ audi s3 and a few other cars . I had one in my 2018 audi s3 and man i had quite a few scary issues with the trans and they were mostly all suprisingly somehow software related. But even after getting the transmission sofware updated at audi and getting those issues fixed it still felt sloppy for a car of this mileage.. especially when it gears down to 1st gear on its own after a long time of driving. When i first got the car at 26k kms it felt like this too. Pretty shite trans if u ask me. Maybe the previous owner best the piss out of it but ive heard several others with the same car having identical issues

If you don’t know the answer and just guessing , why reply at all

Dsg7 have been used in VW in Europe since 2010 mainly on tdi's and pretty much the same reliability wise as Dsg6

Unit itself is solid, but mechatronic unit is dogshit

Is the gli 7 speed DSg using a dry or wet clutch??

For anyone watching this video the DQ381 is terrible. DQ250 is better.

Should the mechatronics fluid in the dq200 be replaced as preventative maintenance?

7 speed DQ500 is probably the best box out there for the golf R iv got a MK6 golf R and I’m about to drop a RS3 7 speed box in with TVS software 🔥🔥🔥 plus a G25-660 turbo kit

DQ250 is so much better. not only is it more reliable, but it feels much sportier (less smooth but in a good way) and shifts literally twice as fast (DQ381 shifts like a torque converter). that extra gear for highway cruising must be nice tho.

Its exactly the same transmission they just upgraded the clutches to be able to handle more torque than the previous 6 speed to be able handle the torque of the of the new Golf R and they changed the software to give better gas mileage thats about it

Golf R with 2spd powerglide swap

Do clutch are different in 6 speed and 7 speed gearbox?

Rubbish..100% of dsg will fail.

And this is why i got polo gti 2021 it got dq250

This channel is so underrated

I think 6 speed dsg would be more reliable in heavy traffic or countries with hot weather such as India . As in 6 speed clutch is dip in oil and in 7 speed they say it as a dry clutch but then too some VW dealers are suggesting to change oil at every 40k miles . Don't where that oil is going considering the fact that 7 speed is wet clutch . Don't not expert but yaa the logic is that liquid dissipate more heat then dry ones .

Which DSG transmission works on a Tiguan 5N? CCTA 2015

I did full rebuild on my dsg 7 dq200 after 10 years and 185kkm (dmf, mechatronics and clutchpack).

Is DSG7 DQ200 0CW good? The previous gen DSG7 DQ200 0AM had issues.

Does anyone really actually know if the new 2020 gti dsg and 2020 Audi A3 7 speed s tronic have a damn wet or dry clutch??? Like seriously I've seen dozens of crap online saying it's a wet clutch. And dozens saying it's a dry clutch. And nowhere to really find out the truth

The DQ381 DSG 7 has 80K miles / 120k kilometer service interval, not 40k miles / 60km.

Sorry but you do not state accurate information regarding the dsg. The old 6 speed code: DQ250 which is very reliable, and the newer dsg 7 speed code : DQ381, is both wet clutch. But from a contruction perspective they are very different. The newer DQ381 has separate oil chambers for the clutch and the mechatronic unit. And where the old DQ250 was/is very reliable, there has been reports that its not quite the same for DQ381. I would cert. find a low milage with the 6 speed DQ250.

I got a question about turbo blankets. I watched a video showing the pros of the turbo blanket, but does the extra heat cause faster wear on the turbo? I believe it increased temp on the hot side of the turbo around 225 Celsius. What is your take on them and their worth?

Is the new 7 dsg in the mk7.5 gti and gli a wet clutch ?

Hey, can you do a newer DSG service walk through video sometime? Theres no videos on the newer 7-speed. I want to do mine early at 40k, dont trust the 80k service interval. 🤣

Just realized my question got a video! Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question! I am on the prowl for a 2018 SE with low mileage and remaining warranty now. I am looking at test driving a 2019 or 20 with the seven speed as well to see if it feels good. The 2015 6 speed i test drove a few months back was very smooth in comparison to my current 2013 G37 7-speed which i despise.
:)

I'm pretty sure the 7 speeds are every 60k miles

Nice video buddy! 👍
