What are the symptoms of a faulty DSG flywheel?
1 Answers
For models equipped with a DSG transmission, when the flywheel is damaged, abnormal noises will occur during driving. When starting the engine, you may hear gear impact sounds, or even failure to engage, preventing startup. Symptoms such as slipping or idling may also occur during startup. Additional information: 1. A damaged flywheel in a car's transmission is usually caused by clutch slipping and overheating. The flywheel in the transmission can fail or crack, and the cracking of the clutch housing can be caused by various factors: imbalance in the crankshaft, flywheel, or clutch assembly; imbalance in the driveshaft; failure of the connection between the flywheel and the engine block. Looseness in the first or second shaft rear bearings of the transmission can lead to imbalance in the transmission's operation. 2. The DSG consists of a dual-clutch assembly formed by two sets of clutch plates, available in wet and dry types. It also features a dual-transmission shaft mechanism composed of a solid shaft and its outer sleeve. The operation of both clutches and gear sets is controlled by a Mechatronic electronic and hydraulic system. The DSG offers faster and smoother gear shifts than manual transmissions, with uninterrupted power output. Compared to traditional automatic transmissions, the DSG automatic transmission is distinctly different, as it does not use a torque converter, allowing for more flexible automatic shifting.
