The causes of transmission noise in the Sagitar include the following: 1. Noise due to insufficient or low oil levels; 2. Noise caused by using oil that does not meet the original vehicle specifications in terms of quality grade; 3. Noise resulting from increased gaps or damage among internal components during normal use, due to wear, poor lubrication, or component quality issues. The design of the all-new Sagitar incorporates the latest family-style elements, blending the compact and sporty stance of the original Sagitar with the luxurious demeanor of its bigger sibling, the Magotan. It comes standard with LED headlights featuring an integrated high/low beam design, while higher-end models boast a unique grille ambient lighting design, along with the MDFS intelligent dynamic headlight assist system and AFS headlight cornering system, offering a truly outstanding level of sophistication.

I've been repairing Volkswagen cars for over ten years, and I often hear Sagitar owners complaining about transmission noises. This is quite common, mainly due to several reasons: The dual-clutch transmission makes a clicking sound during low-speed gear shifts, which is a common issue, especially noticeable in traffic jams. Worn bearings can cause a humming noise while driving, and it gets louder over time. If the transmission oil hasn't been changed for too long, poor lubrication can lead to jerky shifts and unusual noises. Some owners neglect maintenance, causing the gear shift mechanism to jam, resulting in a clunking sound with every gear change. The more troublesome issue is worn clutch plates, which produce a metal grinding noise during acceleration. I recommend getting it checked as soon as you hear any unusual sounds. Last time, a Sagitar that was left unchecked for too long ended up needing a full transmission replacement, costing over 20,000 RMB—definitely not worth it.

I drive a Sagitar myself and have experienced transmission noise issues. Initially, there was always a clicking sound during low-speed gear shifts. The dealership diagnosed it as a gear meshing problem, and the mechanic said that's just how dual-clutch transmissions are. Later, during highway driving, there was a continuous humming noise, and inspection revealed a failing bearing. Another time during maintenance, the transmission fluid was found to be as black as ink, and after replacing it, the noise significantly reduced. I've learned my lesson now and make sure to change the transmission fluid every 60,000 kilometers. I advise fellow car owners not to ignore unusual noises, especially when gear shifts are accompanied by jerking and metallic grinding sounds, as continuing to drive could potentially burn out the clutch assembly.

The old Sagitar's transmission at home has started acting up recently. There's a creaking sound when reversing, and the mechanic said it's due to aging and loosening of the shift cable. At high speeds, there's a humming noise like an airplane taking off, probably indicating the bearings need replacement. The most annoying part is the loud clunk when starting from a red light. The mechanic warned it could be gear wear or insufficient fluid. He advises fellow old car owners to check the transmission fluid level monthly for any leaks. If you notice any unusual noises, don't hesitate—take it straight for inspection. Small issues are easier to fix.
