2011 Volkswagen Polo dsg gearbox vibration?
Year: 2011
Variant: 1.4 DSG petrol
Categories:
Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
When engine in idle and DSG in Park all fine.
When I push gear lever to Drive, release brakes and move the car, I perceive a vibration and noise (similar to a rant) coming from under the bonnet. The noise is similar to when one drives a manual gear car and revs are too low up to the point the car starts shaking a bit.
This typically happens when engine revs are very low (1200 rpm). If I depress the gas pedal and rev increase, vibrations and noises disappear.
I Initially thought it's an heat screen coming loose or perhaps the exhaust coming loose somewhere. However if this was the case, same issue should happen at low revs when in Park?
Would be extremely grateful if anyone can offer a clue on what the problem might be.
Many thanks

Common known fault with that box and a few other problems .I think there was a recall on some models where they replaced the synthetic fluid with mineral oil. Better getting it checked by dealer even though may be out of warranty as because of the problems may be still covered .
