My 1.4 TSi 7 speed DSG (dry clutches) gearbox has started showing some clutch slip after 62K miles. I noticed it first when I was putting it back in the garage and normally just letting the foot brake off is sufficient to put it away as the DSG clutch will take up drive and be sufficient to move the car forward on tickover (my drive has a slight slope to it) but it just slipped back and I had to use the handbrake to stop it rolling back and apply more accelerator. I've since noticed (I was testing it out a bit) that on hard acceleration the engine over revs a bit on some gear changes. I assume it's the clutch pack that needs replacing (I'm seeing a VAG specialist garage next week). Anyone have experience of having this problem? Was it the clutch pack? How much did the clutch pack cost to replace? At the moment the car still drives OK though I do notice the over revving from time to time and also that from stand still it seems to take longer to get moving. Was tempted to call it a day and trade it in for a new car whilst it was still driveable but the car has been otherwise flawless and the 1.4TSi engine is a peach, strong and yet really economical plus of course my car tax is £30 a year so I'm loathe to let the car go.

It sounds like the clutch pack, I am sure the specialist will run some checks on the box to make sure it isn't the mech unit.

 

The LUK clutch kit is around £300, pretty sure the DQ200/1.4 TSI uses a DMF too which is around £300-£350, probably around £1000 all in.

Certainly not worth getting rid of the car over if it is just the clutch, it is a wear and tear item at the end of the day and the price isn't dissimilar to normal manual vehicles.
