SEVEN-SPEED DSG
Volkswagen has developed an evolution of its pioneering DSG gearbox. The new seven-speed system – a world first and codenamed DQ200 – uses a pair of dry clutches in preference to the six-speed version’s twin wet clutches. This increases efficiency and performance over the wet clutch six-speed system.
The six-speed DSG gearbox, introduced in 2003, uses a pair of clutches submerged in oil. The new seven-speed gearbox adopts a pair of dry, organic bonded friction linings that do not require cooling, making the drivetrain more efficient through the extra ratio and the fact that less power is required for the gear selection and clutch servo system.
Measuring only 369 mm in length and weighing only 79 kg including the dual-mass flywheel the gearbox is remarkably compact. These modest proportions mean it can be applied to models from the Polo right up to the Passat and, in its current form, it is capable of coping with power outputs of up to 170 PS and 184 lbs ft of torque.
In adopting seven-speeds, Volkswagen engineers were able to lower first gear to improve acceleration from a standstill. By contrast seventh gear has been raised to act as an overdrive function making it ideal for motorway driving with the additional effect of raising economy and comfort levels.
The volume of oil contained within the gearbox has also been reduced by 75 per cent. The oil circuits are split into two in an effort to protect the lubrication’s purity. As with a conventional manual gearbox, one of the circuits is used for cooling and lubrication of the gear teeth, the second feeds oil to the gear actuators. Since the clutch does not require cooling the quantity of oil was reduced from seven litres in the six-speed DSG gearbox to only 1.7-litres in the new seven-speed system.
Production of the gearbox started at the end of the 2007 with its first application in the UK in the Golf and mated to the 1.4-litre TSI petrol and 1.9-litre TDI diesel engines.
25-5-2007 Golf GT Sport replaced both Sport and GT. Darkened grille section intersected by horizontal fins and darkened headlights which visually separate the lenses into four, individual units. 17-inch multi-spoke ClassiXs alloys with 225/45 R17 tyres. Twin chrome exhausts on 170 PS. Leather-trimmed three-spoke
steering wheel, gearknob and handbrake, front sports seats, automatic light sensing headlights and rain sensing wipers. Climatic air conditioning, CD stereo with eight speakers and electric windows. Six airbags, ABS and ESP. 1.4-litre TSI petrol engines with 140PS or 170 PS, or 2.0 170PS TDI. Six-speed manual or DSG transmissions, three or five doors. Deliveries from summer 2007. From £17,422 for three-door with 1.4-litre TSI 140 PS engine, rising to £21,352 for five-door with the 2.0-litre TDI 170 PS engine with DSG transmission.
Launched Frankfurt Show September 2007 Golf BlueMotion offering 62.8 mpg (4.5 l/100 km) fuel consumption and 119 g/km CO2. 1.9 TDI engine with 77 kW / 105 PS and 250 Nm (184 lbs ft) of torque. Software in engine management reduces the idling speed combined with a particulate filter and simultaneously improves its emission performance. With longer gear ratios in third, fourth and fifth gears, engine speed levels are also lower while driving. Trimmed and flow-optimized underbody as well as nearly enclosed radiator grille. To ensure that the TDI engine still gets enough cooling air, the Golf BlueMotion has an effective dual fan. cW improved to 0.30. Light-running tyres, size 195/65 R15, optimized for rolling resistance and driven at higher air pressure. Top speed electronically limited 190 km/h (118 mph).
From late 2007 Volkswagen replaced its 1.6-litre FSI petrol engine with a new
CHAIN CAM 1.4 TSI fitted only with a turbochrger (like FIAT's) rather than both turbocharger and supercharger. Power is 122PS and torque 200 Nm (155 lbs ft) delivered from 1,500 to 3,500 rpm. Choice of 6-speed manual or new 7-speed DSG transmissions. Combined consumption of Golf 44.8 mpg for the new 1.4-litre TSI.

Golf TDI Hybrid Geneva March 2008. Volkswagen engineers rose to the challenge of creating a viable, highly-efficient family vehicle capable of emitting less than 90 g/km of CO2 by creating the Golf TDI Hybrid concept, a car which combines an advanced 1.2-litre 75 PS diesel engine with an electric motor and the very latest generation of seven-speed DSG gearbox. It is capable of achieving 83 mpg on the combined cycle and emits just 89 g/km of CO2 – while around town the vehicle reverts to purely electric mode to be emission-free.

What's Bad
Launch of FSIs delayed in the UK because they depend on petrol which is almost 100% sulphur-free (less than 10 parts per million).
Detail problems: Headlight light sensors over sensitive; wiper rain sensors over sensitive; individual climate controls may not work properly; rattles and squeaks from trim; red door reflectors have replaced lights and they fall off. Rain sensing wipers tend to over-react. Steering wheel paddle shifts were originally a cool £515 extra for the GTi DSG, but standard for 2006MY cars from about July 2005.
GTI Edition 30 seat bolsters force shorter drivers into a round-shouldered posture.
Further warranty bproblems suffered by Stuart Bates on a Mk V less than 3 years old: ignition coil failures, radio that randomly switching on, door seals hanging off (all four replaced by dealer), radiator fans failing and being replaced, second radio/CD player failing, this time refusing to eject CDs and then randomly switching off.
Severe shortage of 1.4 TSI 120s by February 2008.
(Golf V BEING REPLACED BY CHEAPER TO BUILD MK VI in 2008/09)
What to Watch Out For
Dealer-set remote locking option of one press opens all doors or one press opens drivers door only and two presses opens all doors.
Plastic timing belt tensioners of 1.4 16v engines now failing regularly, though fortunately the belts are rarely flung off when this happens. Steering rack problems reported. Rear light lenses letting in moisture and fogging over. Reports of "grinding noise from steering rack" when turning left, not cured by replacing rack. On 1.9 TDI 105s both a clutch release bearing fault and a hesitation on running fault with no cure available from VW at 10-10-06.
FSIs are proving to be petrol sensitive. Best run on 99 Ron Shell V-Power Super.
More coils failures usually indicated by the emissions (lambda) light on the dash.
Battery drain caused by radio. If you don't leave a CD in the player, then it randomly thinks you've inserted one, then decides you haven't, and then switches the radio on. You then find the car in the morning either with with the radio blaring! or the battery flat.
One report in June 2007 of a TDI PD 170 running on its sump oil after having been overfilled. So check when cold on a flat surface and be very careful not to overfill.
On all PD diesel engines, if engine lube oil appears to rise, the reason may be that the injectors are leaking fuel oil into the bores. Very important to get this fixed or engine may start running on its lube oil and need to be stalled against the brakes or choked of air to stop. Alternatively it may be the 'Tandem pump" that is at fault
and has been leaking diesel into the engine. See Recalls below.
Many niggly faults on delivery. One reader's story:-
"I bought a VW Golf Mark 5 in December 2004. When I went to collect the car, the doors didn't fit properly, nor did they close properly either. There were a few other little things, but the doors were the main problem. The dealership, said that they would take the car in and try to fix it. After 3 days, the car came back and the doors were still massively out of alignment. The VW garage, said they would get me another car."
"In March, the new one came. Initially, there was a problem with the centre console cover, which was badly marked. I pointed this out to the salesman, who offered to replace the part, straight away, with a second hand part out of another car. I refused and waited three weeks for a new part."
"Then the Alarm failed, due to a faulty siren. This was fixed, however a week after it being fixed, a new fault appeared. Every time I went over a bump, the was a vibration and rattle, which progressively got worse. This took 5 times in the garage to find, and it was diagnosed as a faulty bracket behind the dashboard, which had incorrectly fitted during manufacture. Whilst it was in the garage, they also found that the CV joint was leaking grease heavily and had to be replaced."
"About a month ago, during the good weather, I noticed some discoloration in the paintwork on the passenger door. It was like the black, was slightly grey. I thought it was dirt, but polishing and washing has had no effect. It is only noticeable, when the sunlight is on the car."
"About two weeks ago, the alarm failed again. It has been diagnosed as the Alarm siren again. This was the last straw. I have gone back to VW to demand my money back. I paid £17,000 for the car and I am absolutely fed up with it and I have no confidence in the car. Its fine to drive, but it keeps going wrong."
"Now, there appears to be a squeak in the front suspension as well, when I go over a speed hump."
Some 2007 build cars with 6-speed boxes suffered from a planetary gear fault due to incorrect assembly. Cars fixed quickly by TSB when in dealers for servicing or other problems.
Door seal failures seem to be a common problem.
Aircon compressors and condensors can fail early (under warranty) on 2.0 T 200 GTIs.
Quite a lot of turbo oil seal failures soon after the 3 year warranty expires. Cost of new turbo, intercooler and exhaust manifold £2,700. So best to buy an extended warranty that covers you for this before the manufacturer warranty ends.
