Ok so I just bought myself a 2006 TDI sedan with Nav and power seat. Kinda rare car with only 73k miles. Well it started vibrating pretty bad on the way home. And I figured it was flywheel. Except now it has a viscious leak from the trans. How bad am I looking here? Anyone had any success welding up the holes? I hate the thought of throwing away a low mileage DSG.

The issue is getting it clean enough to weld. Almost impossible to do and get a good weld. Plus you'd have to pull the clutch pack to make sure you get the welding debris out of the trans.

You won't believe this. After renting the took buying the seal and removing the trans again......the leak was in the oil pan. It had a crack up high in the bell housing area. What a god damn waste of time that was! Lol O well.

Jason can I borrow the tool to install? I can pay shipping and leave a deposit.

Sorry been busy, missed the request.

Glad you sorted it. Sucks though.

And rear mains leak a lot. I'd conservatively say 30% of cars for a clutch need a rear main and 10% of DSG cars.
