When I'm driving round town in bit of traffic car cannot make up it's mind to be in 1st our second gear and starts crashing into first then second etc, spoke to vw today and the mechanic who was dsg trained told me it's normal in traffic and car should be fine on run?

........what ''mode'' is the box in when in town?.

Just normal drive, it's fine when in manuel mode

i smell mechatronic failure.  I suggest you take it for a diagnostics asap before it bursts out.  What does it mean 'normal in traffic and car should be fine on run'? Either it works fine all the time or it doesn't.

Sounds like Mecatronic problems ?

I started to wish I'd gone for DSG with all of the problems I'd had with the clutch on my car, that said, seems even DSG can be pretty sh1tty at times. VW's suck

The guy told me at vw that problem has been sorted in 2008 and that the dsg boxes are fine, going to call them Tommorw to bring this to there attention

Yes he's right in a way but you can still get the odd one coming through with this problem....

Doesn't sound very normal to me, mine doesn't play up like that....it smooth in all gears!

A mate of mine had a similar problem with his Superb. Then one day. he pulled out of a junction, it changed into second with a bang, and made a grumbling sound ever after. One new gearbox to replace the 15,000 miles original and all is well again.
