On 1.0 TSI, 1.2 TSI, 1.4 TSI, 1.5 TSI, and 1.6 TDI models fitted with the dry-clutch DQ200 DSG, mechatronic unit pressure accumulator failure and clutch pack glazing cause severe low-speed juddering and sudden gear loss.

The front and rear sunroof drain pipes can shrink, disconnect at the A-pillar and C-pillar junctions, or clog with dirt, flooding water into front passenger footwells and corroding body control module wiring.
