What kind of transmission is in the 2012 VW CC?
Volkswagen offers two different six-speed automatic transmissions for the 2012 CC. The DSG, a twin-clutch automated manual gearbox, is optional on Sport and R-Line models and standard on the Lux. The VR6 4MOTION Executive trim gets a traditional automatic. To see if your Volkswagen has a DSG transmission, look at the gear stick and see if there is an embossed ‘DSG’ logo. You can also check your car’s manual to find the details of your gearbox there, but your VW will likely be listed as having DSG when you purchase it so you’ll know before you buy.
Does Volkswagen have transmission problems?
VW transmissions tend to be unreliable, with no consistency in performance. I’ve seen them fail at 50000 miles and others that last up to 200000 miles without issues. It’s a bit of a gamble, but I would recommend changing the fluid and filter. Volkswagen transmissions are known for their reliability, but regular maintenance is key to keeping them in top shape. If you notice any issues with your VW’s transmission, don’t wait—address them promptly to avoid bigger problems down the road.
What is the most common problem with Volkswagen?
One recurring issue that Volkswagen owners often encounter is related to the electrical system. From faulty wiring to malfunctioning sensors, electrical gremlins can wreak havoc on the performance and reliability of your Volkswagen. Myth #9: Volkswagens Are Difficult to Service Some people believe that VW cars are complicated and thus difficult to service, requiring specialized tools and expertise. In reality, while it’s true that any vehicle benefits from specialized knowledge, Volkswagens are not exceptionally complex compared to other brands.
What is the problem with the VW automatic gearbox?
Mechatronic Leaks Leaks in the mechatronics unit are unfortunately common for DSG owners and are usually traced back to issues with the gasket within the system. The unit sits within a metal housing that attaches to the DSG transmission with a gasket and screws, but when these are damaged or wear down, leaks can occur. In 98% of failures the DSG unit can be repaired at a fraction of the cost of a replacement gearbox. DSG repairs are carried out in house by our experienced technicians. The Mechatronic unit is the most common component to fail, although this is sometimes a result of an internal component failure.
