Another upside - much cheaper to repair and less maintenance.
The DSG version of my VW requires transmission fluid flushes every 40k! These dual clutch systems are incredibly complex.
My g/f's Acura has a 9-speed Automatic transmission. Can't imagine what it's like to work on one of those.
- XorNot 4y agoIs that on the manufacturer schedule, because that's insane?
- grubbs 4y agoYup: https://www.shopdap.com/blog/post/service-schedule-for-mk7-alltrack-2015-2016-2017.html https://www.shopdap.com/blog/post/service-schedule-for-mk7-a... Every DSG VW needs it at 40k interval.
- eterevsky 4y agoI doubt the difference in the maintenance cost is more than say 5%. Most of the maintenance doesn't involve transmission.
- grubbs 4y agoNot sure. My father's Honda Pilot has a 9-speed German transmission. Service every 60k. Dealership wanted $900.
