Hello All
I'm looking at getting an Ateca 2017 xcellence trim - 1.4 exotsi with the 7 speed DsG transmission. I've checked the gearbox variant and it's the DQ200 dry clutch. The dealer assured me that the issues were restricted to vehicles in the 2008-2013 timeframe. There have been no official recalls in the UK for the DSG and Seat aren't providing a confirmation on transmission issues or fix if it goes wrong. My question is if the DSG issues are present in 2017 and later models. I can live with the kangaroo effect and whatever else the dsg may throw up but if it could potentially just fail would be a disaster. I've also looked into an extended warranty that could cover the risk and the Seat warranty says this
Clutch pressure plates and Retailer plates are excluded (DSG clutches are covered for the full warranty offered with the vehicle). I'm not sure what that means. I'm really hoping for some feedback from folks if the DsG issues are indeed fixed post 2013. Many thanks and hopefully a Seat owner soon
