hi all, after 3.5 yrs and 60k km with a 1.6 tdi kamiq the dsg started a light trembling when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. But only then. Going from bad to worse finally the clutch was slipping that much that engine was revving up especial with 4 person in the car and going on uphill BUT only when on 3rd gear! Anyway i got the car to the official skoda network and got repaired. By the way since they wasn't telling much (for example when i asked them if it requires maintenance, etc) i insisted to receive any kind of papers to justify the repair just in case. Now the car has 75k km and i have a feeling that trembling starts again. Not every time but it does. Same thing, only when shifts up from 2nd to 3rd. Back then i was covered by a 4yrs warranty which is over. Do kamiqs 1.6 TDI have the DQ200 DSG and does this gearbox requires periodic maintenance? Moreover I always had an unanswered question. Why this malfunction takes place only when dsg shifts up form 2nd to 3rd gear? Why not from 4th to 5th or any other gear that is on the same clutch (1,3,5,7)? Does clutch clamping force depend on engine load? Could it be something else than gearbox mechanism that has an effect on clamping force and at the end clutch slips? hoping you can understand what i'm trying to figure out any advice would be really helpful. thank u

Until now -1.5yrs later and 24k km- it's still running smoothly

Being worried from the very beginning, I purchased a warranty extension to 4yrs/90k km from the day 1 but I plan to keep a bit more since I really like it. Maybe it's better cross my fingers for my 2020 kamiq 1.6.

And what about DQ200 with a 1.6 diesel? Is it a worry free combination?

DQ200 is a dry clutch. Does this mean that there is no oil change in the service schedule cause i was also told (by the same technician) that it's only required an oil change every 60000km

I was told by dealre's technician that is a normal sound caused by the fact that DSG has engaged at the same time more gears than the running one so to be prepared for the next shift up or down depending on driver's nect move. Even if all DSGs operate on the same way this noise is heard on some models. BTW which DSG type is on kamiq (TDI 1.6) ???
