Direct-shift gearbox

yeah and i never had any issues with those things are bulletproof You're kidding, right?

Wait, you didn't have the DSG in it?

No. Oh, you had the 6-speed slush box.

But it has 249 on it, and I've done the transmission service twice since I've owned it.

It's not? No.

If it was, it wouldn't have been there.

So the Taos is actually a DSG.

So those are still...

it's a tough one i mean it's it's definitely a good car to keep by all means being a gti we know about the common problems on these cars yeah and nothing's really going to break the bank you've got the plastic thermostat housing which is an ideal water pump assembly um i'm going to go into my geek mode here but um and probably ac compressor but apart from that these things are relatively strong the

dsg transmission

Yes, the Haldex, as long as you change the oil and all of that, the DSG, like you said.

But really, apart from that, these things are quite strong.

They will keep going.

That was my second car.

It's DSG, it's not tip.

Well, it's, it was still tip.

All tips are tips.

[laughs]

For $50,500, you can get a V8 R8.

It is DSG.

You're not gonna get a, get a manual one.

Let's go ahead and list the people that we want to give a thanks or a shout out to for keeping this build alive and for helping you get where you are now.

The biggest supporter is my business, which is the DSG Service Center.

So I do DSG gearboxes for Volkswagen.

So I'm a Volkswagen gearbox specialist.

Uh, it's from a listener called James.

He says, "Hello, you pair of DDG tromboning crackle tunes." I don't know if he means DSG.

What's DDG?

DDG.

onWell, I mean, I'll, I'll be honest, I'm a bit out of the loop.

I haven't watched it for about 30 years, but, um, yeah, so c-

I know it's got a bit of a DSG trombone theme tune.

I know that much.

Plus, with it being a 2019, still relatively new, so you still get all the creature comforts, like heated seats and whatnot.

It is a DSG car, which honestly, with these, I prefer the DSG over the manuals anyways.

I mean, you can't go wrong with GTI.

Yeah,

A TDC eye is a diesel, turbo diesel engine in that vehicle.

And if I remember correctly, it's connected to what they call a power shift transmission, which is actually, if I remember back in the day, that's the term of the dual clutch system or the DSG, which you also find in the VW products.

A similar

kind of system.
