not to mention our weak consumer protection laws...Originally Posted by sheerluck
the issue is with the 7 speed dry clutch version. it is weaker that the older wet clutch 6 speed that i have... they stopped putting them in caddy maxi very early on i believe and went back to the 6 speed.

They have two 7sp transverse DSG's now. The 250Nm max one in all the small engines (up to 1.6 litre diesel) and the big one used in the Tiguan, Q3 and right up to the vans. Durability issues aside, I just didn't like how they drove. I found a 6sp manual and love it.
But yes those tin-whiskers can be trouble. Laptop makers did a lot of consumer beta testing about a decade ago, so we have those as early indicators. Toshiba apparently warrantied all of some models.

Last I knew it wasn't approved for armed forces use for the same reasons and why I don't use it.

We have nothing but issue's with the DPF on Isuzu trucks,even when it's done correctly they still play up and Isuzu have no interest in fixing the problem,a friend of mine has a Mazda 4 and it's been back for PDF issue's,again done as per instructions and the engine warning light used to come on,by far the biggest issue is the heat they produce,I do alot of outback K's and fire is one reason I'd never own one.Last swing I parked up our welders truck and let it do a regen cycle and the heat off the PDF would start a fire in seconds if it was packed with spinifex,I think thats going to be a common topic on online forums when thier numbers increase in the interior.

It would take someone very special to trigger a forced regeneration over dry grass.

You haven't done much outback driving have you. Pat

You do understand "forced regen"? It's not about how dry the grass is in the outback. They are manually triggered and shouldn't be run over anything combustible.You haven't done much outback driving have you
It's like smoking in the dangerous goods shed.

So what happens after a days driving over dry grass or spinifex that builds up under the vehicle and then the PDF does a burn?,many vehicles have burnt to the ground from the muffler heat and it's nothing compared to a PDF. Pat

Doesn't sound attractive to me.....

Where is the DPF on these trucks? On my car it's tucked up against the turbo for maximum heat. It's not a place grass can get to.
