I have been saying this for many times to many different people that ask me and also shared with me about their worries with DSG7 gearbox and how it is putting them off from buying a VW car equipped with DSG7 no matter how tempting the package might be.
Somewhat being the normal procrastinator that I am, finally I put my opinion out to a renowned automotive forum and it became a thread all by itself.
My opinion can be found here in this thread.
KCNG's Guide to Preserving VW's DSG 7-speed Transmission
Bear in mind those are purely my views since day 1 of owning and experiencing the DSG7 in multiple driving condition from heavy traffic, weekend touge and numerous track days.
I am just sharing it accordingly.
Of course your opinion and question is more then welcomed.
A big thanks to Tom from Zero-To-Hundred for giving me the chance to share.
P/S - It doesn't mean that by following my method, your DSG7 won't fail. Any mechanical parts will fail. It's just the matter of time. By using it properly, we can pro-long the lifespan.
