Sorry, meant to update this thread. The dealer apparently replaced both clutch plates about a month ago under warranty and the car has been perfect since. They seemed to be well aware of the issue after I described it to the service manager, didn't need to take it for a test drive or even demo it to a tech. I'm not sure how the car was sold with a pretty obvious issue. I said I'm concerned this issue could rear its head again in future and they said the clutch parts are warrantied for a year - we'll see how it holds up. I'll update the thread if it starts to act up again.

It happens in both D and S modes. I did a bit more testing today and I can get it to repeat in 3rd & 5th gear which I believe use the same clutch. Back to the dealer I go..

Hi folks. I posted earlier in the Karoq fourm but one of the replies (thanks @Ootohere) referenced this thread so I thought I should post here. Recently bought a second hand 2018 Karoq 1.6TDI with the famed DQ200 DSG. The car has 85,000km on the clock. It seems to be suffering from clutch slip, see attached video. The video is filmed with the car left in 5th gear with about half throttle applied at approx 90-100km/h to produce a high load on the engine/gearbox to induce any possible clutch slip. I've read through this entire thread and I'm still a bit unsure what the overall recommendation is for this issue, but it seems as though the gearbox does require a replacement clutch pack to fix the issue, even if it's just temporary. Has anyone else with the 1.6TDI/DSG experienced similar issues and was their 'fix' the replacement clutch pack? Thanks in advance. WhatsApp Video 2024-09-23 at 16.06.28.mp4

I'll need to do a bit more testing but I only noticed it in 5th when recording those clips.

Thanks for your help. It doesn't seem to do it any other gear but I'd have to test it again to be sure. Thanks. Ok, I'll have a read through that thread but is it safe to say something isn't right, even if it isn't clutch slip?

I hope someone could advise based on what they're seeing in the video attached (apologies for the shaky nature!) We recently bought the car second hand with 85k kilometers, it has the DQ200 which I've since learned is the least reliable of the DSG boxes, does this look like clutch slip or some other gearbox related issue? The video is filmed with the car left in 5th gear with about half throttle applied at approx 90-100km/h to produce a high load on the engine/gearbox to induce any possible clutch slip.
