Do we know yet where the Vehicles Sold in China with DSG have the DSG's Built?

Where are the Vehicles Built?

Is it in Chinese Plants, or India or Europe?

A good question. Wiki suggests cars are produced in China, and this article appears to suggest the problem may have something to do with local production of DSG. http://autonews.gasgoo.com/china-news/vw-issues-software-upgrade-to-resolve-gearbox-prob-120313.shtml

Another link about the problem (beware the dodgy English). http://insidechina.onehotspots.com/volkswagen-announced-the-extension-of-the-transmission-warranty-on-dsg-extended-warranty/45345/

Superb estate rear door lock

MrSVM1 · 12 hours ago12 hr

I am having problems with the rear offside door lock on our 2018 Super 2.0L SE Technology diesel estate. The drivers door switch panel includes the two child lock buttons. When locking the car the rear offside door remains unlocked, therefore we have to keep it locked via the small turn screw on the edge of the door. Having looked into new lock prices, I decided to try a second hand one from a 'reputable' supplier, only to find that this replacement is doing the same thing. I conclude therefore

Vibration from rear end
Skoda Octavia Mk3 (2013 - 2020)

Vibration from rear end

KjetilV · 4 June, 20242 yr

Hello. My 2014 Octavia 1.8 4x4 has developed a strange issue. There is a vibration coming from the rear of the car when driving. It feels like if there was severe unbalance, or a flat spot on the tires. I have however ruled out this possibility, by first having the wheels rebalanced, and then having the tires replaced. With no change. Symptoms: - Heavy vibration from rear of car. (No steering wheel vibration) - Can sometimes be felt from 20kmh. Frequency increases with wheel

1.2 TSI loss of power

1.2 TSI loss of power

Papez · 11 hours ago11 hr

Hi, hopefully you won't mind my question here - I don't have an Octavia, but its close relative from a Spanish brand. But mechanically, they are same. Anyway, I have a 77kW CBZB. It worked flawlessly for the year I own the car, but when this summer started, I noticed occasional loss of power. It only happens in hot weather (around 30 degrees and up) with AC on. In most cases, it happened when I wanted to accelerate after mild climbing at lower gear at ~2000RPM. It feels almost like a limp mode
