Simply impressive😊 No faisal khan, no motor octane or no one can give this kind of information. Which is very important after buying a car.
Bro, please try to drive other brand cars and give more of these kind of reliability videos and please post these segment videos once in a while. All the best bro.

Pro tip for maintaining a dq200 even if it is a recently one
1st) make sure to use manual shirts in bumper to bumper or normal traffic, steep surface
2nd) if youre parking on slop or steep first engage the hand brand with brake pedal pressed then shift it to parking
3rd) put the gear box in neutral at stops
4th) do not launch control slightly move it and you can push the car
5th) do not give the car in the hands of an unprofessional driver no matter who it is
Enjoy!

The main reason for the infamous failure of the DQ200 when paired with 1.5 TDI is the actual torque of the 1.5 TDI usually spikes above 250nm, and as the DQ200 has the torque limit of 250nm.
If drove sensibly, I think DQ200 should have lesser reliability issue.

Exactly, this is how every auto YouTuber should review cars. Huge thumbs up!

Bhai i was regretting buying 1.0 instead of 1.5 but after watching your video …feel like blessing in disguise…anyway virtus is really charm to drive 👌

I have a Skoda Octavia 1.8 TSI with the DQ200. I've had her for 6 years. I have driven my Octavia for 130k km. I haven't have had any issues with the transmission so far. Touch Wood. Every 15k km i have serviced it at Skoda. These cars need care. Nothing has failed on my car in the took me off my ownership. Love the powertrain. 💙

[saiateesh]

brilliant! Thank you Deep, have booked GTLine 1.0 automatic transmission, Delivery in January. Hope it is a good choice! I own a Fiat Linea manual 2010 model right now.

I am driving polo 1.2 gt tsi with yrs and around 97000km. No issues till now. It is very smooth transmission. But now I too get a feel it has started to give some issues in transmission like missing very rarely on high
I have always serviced in vw only and on I am not sure whether this missing is transmission related or something really have made nice video on dsg even though I drove it for 97000 km but still wish I could have known this before am planning to buy new dsg too keep these details in mind

I have already have great diesel manual car, i wanted to buy automatic diesel car. Thanks for the video. I would now think twice to buy TDI with DSG.

[pvinaykumars]

What a lovely and an informative video on DSG

[harshasblr]

I wouldn't agree that the gearbox is problematic. It isnt the old DQ200 gearbox version that were known to be headache worldwide. It is much much reliable these days. I would definitely suggest people to go for DSG.

There was an issue earlier but now most of the problems have been eliminated. Not completely though there are still small issues but negligible. Needs good maintenance. Very few cases now just like any other type of gearboxes failures from other manufacturers. Say 10years back there were lot of failures and now its very low.

So what they have done is they have changed from synthetic oil to a mineral oil because of the very low sulphur content which won't deposit and cause overheating.

VW has updated with newer and better quality mechanical parts .Also they have a new software that they have updated that controls the mechatronics in a better way. There's no overheating because of this. And it controls the wear and tear and prolongs the life of the gearbox.

VW wouldn't have still continued if problems still existed. Dq200 is a very good gearbox.

Excellent 👌
A real user review should be like this.
Unlike some people just want to glorify their car.

[sierrachief]

Super valuable insights. I could feel the dq200 of my old 1.5 diesel vento giving away. It started missing shifts and behaving erratically sometimes. Luckily I sold it on time.

[chetanmotkari]

I do agree with your experience with DSG. This DSG is very quick and give driver another level of experience you wont feel gear shifting. Sometimes gearshift after 2nd took longer rpm that thing I'm worrying. Also I recently face gearbox overheating issue in my vento 1.5 dsg during uphill stop and go traffic i felt gear sleep and loss of power. When traffic was released I took almost half an hour break and later i felt the car was running normally. Yes I felt the first time it was a ticking bomb 😅
My vento clocked 125000 km till now and i have changed only flywheel and mechatronic fluid and transmission fluid only.

[divyeshwalanju]

Very good informative video with practical information, do keep sharing such VW videos.

[TechTrekAdventures-AK]

Thanks Bro, for such valuable info, Currently running Polo 1.2 Manual and planning to upgrade to Virtus. after your video seem its clear to me :)

[sanjivsingh]

Had booked Virtus GT plus but later bought Jeep compass diesel 9AT instead. Primarily our reason for going to compass was independent rear suspension and rear disc brakes, and we liked the interior as well. We plan to keep the car for as long as we can. We knew that in Virtus, DSG may have some heating issues, but didn't know about these water related issues. So earlier we were ready that we will take good care, drive well and the gearbox may be fine, but after listening to what you are telling, I feel like that car might be troublesome in the the long run. Because few years ago we took our manual accord through some water on the road and the water went into it's clutch, for a km or two it started slipping but later became normal, but DSG could have failed in such scenario.

Very well explained in the video about the problems and the situation with the DQ 200 I Daily drive a Skoda Octavia 1.8 TSI automatic, which comes with DQ 200 and I have been driving this car since past seven years, it is the facelifted model and it has clocked over 1, 37, 000 km in the odometer and I haven’t faced any sort of gearbox issue with the DQ 200. I live in a place where there is huge amount of rain in the monsoons and there is continuous waterlogging in front of my house and I take out my car through that itself, but I haven’t faced any sort of issues till now and when it comes to the slip, age of gears, which is associated with the clutch now I haven’t faced that too, so I can say that they were problems with the DQ 200 in the initial days, mainly with a diesel because of the torque spike, which the diesel engines get, but since the petrol engines do not get that torque spike and along with the modifications to the gearbox by VW and Skoda and with all the measures taken place to stop the problems. I can confidently say that now the DQ 200 gearbox is a pretty reliable one because I have experienced it myself and I haven’t faced any sort of problems with regards to gearbox nor the engine or any sort of those things, and I haven’t got a chance to replace the clutch or the flywheel or Electronics two in spite of running for around 1, 37, 000 km.
