DSG Transmission Problems
The DSG or Direct-Shift Gearbox in the Golf is designed for fast shifting, but a lot of its owners have reported problems concerning the gearbox, mostly regarding the mechatronic unit. The mechatronics unit on the DSG controls the clutches and gear changes. Symptoms when failing include rough shifting, hesitation, or even total failure.
Diagnostic of DSG problems by German Car Service is done through our factory-trained technicians, approved diagnostic tools test performance against the mechatronics unit for malfunctioning.
Timing Chain Tensioner Failure
This is one of those problems typical for a Volkswagen Golf equipped with an 1.8T or 2.0T motor. Since the chain tensioner keeps the timing chain tight against the engine's camshafts, if it fails, then the chain may either skip or break and cause serious damage to your motor, most likely by bending your valves or even causing an entire rebuild of your engine.
Our shop has experience handling timing chain tensioner issues. We conduct a thorough inspection of the actual timing chain and components. If we find wear or damage, we install an updated tensioner designed for longer life and less possibility of failure.
Pump Leaks
The water pump forms a very vital part of the cooling system in your Volkswagen Golf, as it pumps coolant through the engine. As the seals or bearings grow older, they tend to wear out and begin to leak coolant. This situation may lead to overheating your engine, which may result in serious damage if not addressed promptly.
German Car Service takes any problem connected to leakage in your water pump seriously. We will inspect your Golf's cooling system for any weak and leaking points. Should it leak, we'll have the water pump replaced with a high-quality OEM or equivalent part.
Suspension Wear
The Volkswagen Golf is agile, although worn suspension parts will have quite an impact on the ride quality and stability of the vehicle. That means that the worn shock absorbers, struts, and bushings are common wearing parts related to bumpy rides, excessive body roll, and uneven tire wear.
We start with an inspection that identifies worn or damaged parts in the suspension. Based on the findings, we will replace such components as shock absorbers, struts, control arm bushings, or sway bar links to bring your car's suspension back up to factory specifications.
Electrical System Glitches
Volkswagen Golf owners have had issues such as defective sensors and malfunctioning infotainment systems. Such problems can be very annoying because they are difficult to diagnose due to their inconsistency.
Our repair shop employs specialized tests to trace the source of an electrical malfunction, be it a broken sensor, a corroded connection, or sometimes even a software issue.
