What Causes the Transmission Noise in Magotan at Low Speed?
2 Answers
Magotan low-speed transmission noise may be caused by: Wear and damage of bearings: When bearings wear out, their clearance increases and fitting accuracy decreases; when bearings are damaged, abnormal noise occurs as they cannot operate normally, which may even damage transmission components and worsen the fault. Gear issues: Excessive clearance due to wear of transmission components or use of low-precision replacement parts; excessively tight gear clearance during assembly; metal peeling on gear surfaces, broken gear teeth, or misalignment during assembly. Other reasons: Insufficient lubrication due to lack of lubricating oil—replace the corresponding lubricating oil; water ingress into the transmission without timely repair may lead to noise issues over time.
I've been driving a Magotan for several years, and occasionally hear abnormal noises during low-speed gear shifts. This issue is quite common, mostly due to aging components inside the transmission. For example, worn clutch plates, dirty or insufficient lubricant can cause jerky movements and noises; sometimes it's an electronic control system failure, such as sensor errors leading to rough gear engagement. Last time I took it to the repair shop, the mechanic said Volkswagen's DSG transmissions are prone to this behavior at low speeds, especially during stop-and-go traffic when frequently accelerating and decelerating. He suggested first checking the oil level, and for older cars, it's best to regularly maintain the fluids to prevent small issues from turning into major expenses. If the abnormal noises persist, it's advisable to immediately visit a 4S dealership for a computer diagnostic—don't delay. Spending a little now is better than replacing the entire transmission later.
