April 2014, the mechatronic unit for my 2004 vw new Beetle tdi failed. It would surge in and out gear. This part was recalled overseas but not in the USA. This January 2015 what I had a a turbo failure and a dual mass clutch flywheel failure. This is the dsg 6 speed automatic transmission. The special flywheel has failed, it has a hole in the out casing and the internal springs inside are slowing breaking up and were shooting out the the assembly. These pieces then somehow managed to machine the transmission bellhousing creating at least 3 holes in the transmission case. The car seriously vibrates at idle but when under power the the car runs normal. There is a grinding sounds also when at idle. I am amazed that the the transmission hasn't catastrophically failed yet. This would be a potential crash if not repaired. Are there any other cases similar to the aforementioned problems. Please help!.
