Hi CT owner, i have been reading a lot of posting regarding this DSG issues(jerking, juddering, g/b malfunction), and the car halted; need to get the clutch pad replace, etc... To me, it sounds like "sure happen". Could you guys/gals share your experience so far if you have/haven't had this DSG issue with your ride? I well aware of "scare dun buy - buy dun scare" theory, but it is still my dilemma to make the go for CT! Other than this, i'm really fine with this car. Appreciate your piece of info!

To me, the DSG issue is nearly like sure to happen, it's only a matter of when or in what situation you will be trapped in.
But what measures we taken to reduce the severity of the incident or how prudent we are in checking the symptom which I think will somewhat reduce the impact to the user. Buy with a pre set expectation and manage it accordingly.
For me, I buy it for my wife to ferry the kids, the main priority is safety and decent comfort level. Reliability yes, but not on the top of the list, we know it will fail somehow, or something will go wrong. Indeed, new delivery already given me two issues, took nearly two months to fix it, but we came off expecting it, hence, not terribly pissed off
I'm not a salesman, convincing people to buy a VW is not really my forte. All I can say is, manage your expectation, and drive. I can see my wife smiling every time she drives it, while I stuck in my 9 years old Japanese junk.

Generally there is 2 path to go about this for VW cars:
1) Stick with plug and play players. No cutting/splicing. Can always swap back to OEM player if claim warranty within 5 years.
2) or, Anything also can. Don't care if need to cut/splice the wires. However, it will void warranty claim affecting this part.
I know the above is too general, but I guess have to decide which path first, do you mind to fore-go the part-warranty or not ?

I would like to stick point 1 to claim warranty if anything happens. Do you know of any units out there available ?
