However, the DQ200 DSG 7 speed gearbox that the vw group had offered in India on the Skoda Supurb was a faulty one and the vw group issued a recall in China wrt the DQ200 DSG 7 speed. No such statement or recall or extended warranty was offered to owners of the particular gearbox in India.
I am afraid if the same dsg box is being used by vw on the polo gt. can somebody verify this gearbox on the Polo GT TSI and it's reliability.
How can anyone verify without using it for substantial time, OR one has to be working with VW high up enough to know inside information. Time will tell.
See, VW has been testing tsi engines in India as revealed from various spy reports, and the Chinese call back happened just a few weeks back. Both the occurrences do not seem to be related. If there was any relation, VW would have abruptly launched tsi engines without even testing, or the testing would have happened after Chinese call back.
Alternatively, VW might have thought that the problematic DSG in skoda in China will not be troublesome with a polo and hence they have procured the same DSG for Indian tsi polo. Speculation these are, but I would favor an enthusiast who sheds his inhibitions in view of supporting a great product. If I had been in market for new hatch, i would have got this car taking the risk of DSG.
Current Petrol Highline= 6.3 lac
Add DSG+ tsi engine+ new upholstery+ new dashboard finish+ ESP feature= approx 2.5 lacs? Certainly overpriced.
But wait, driving pleasure= priceless.
Choice is yours.
Red color Polo looks good for girls. Good for your gf/wifey, bad for us.
Makes a good gift for you gf no?
^^Does VW has something like skoda shield? (a 4 yr comprehensive warranty..) if they has, you can also consider that
VW is offering the normal warranty of 2 years and then extended warranty (paid) for next two years which should cover gearbox too.
