I have had my MK 7.5 golf GTD DSG now for about six months. After a couple of weeks into ownership I was in a tight car park having to do about a 10 point turn. When setting off there was this loud banging noise like something banging on a metal bin lid!! It was quite quick about five or six bangs within two or three seconds until I applied the brakes and stopped. It was quite loud and definitely coming from under the car at the front around the engine gearbox area It was quite quick about five or six bangs within two or three seconds and was quite loud and definitely coming from under the car at the front around the engine gearbox area. Since then on a few occasions when setting off when it’s been sitting for a while there has been a jolt from 1st. It’s like the sensation of a gear cog that’s missing a couple of teeth and it catches again if that makes sense? I am also convinced that the gearbox is getting noisier just in general as it sounds quite ‘geary’ and a little rattly when I put my foot down. The DSG seems very hesitant and generally unpredictable as well.
I took it into the local VW garage who obviously said there is nothing wrong with it after plugging it in to the computer but recently it has happened again and so it is going in again next Tuesday. Just wondered if anyone else has experienced a similar banging noise and subsequent issue with gearbox jerking from set off?
