I'm looking at buying a 2015 Golf DSG with 30k miles. First, I have no experience with the TDI paired with a DSG. However, I've logged 270k miles in my 2003 Golf with a manual.
During the test drive in the 2015 Golf DSG today, it felt like the clutches were slipping excessively while it shifted from 1-2 and 2-3 under hard acceleration. Although,it was smooth and clean under light acceleration. The slipping or my impression that it was slipping occurred in D, S or manual modes.
Is the clutch slippage normal under hard acceleration? If not maybe the DSG will fail or get worse within the 2 year/24k mile warranty?
I really want this car to work because it has all the targets I wanted in my new to me Golf.
Thanks in advance.
