Noises During Shifting problems of the 2006 Volkswagen Jetta

Transmission hard shifting within 15 minutes of vehicle start. Loud clunk noise thru 4 gears. Car in garage. Ost 50-75 degrees. Air bag light comes on with wiring extension completed.

At approx 80-90k I started hearing a clattering noise from the engine and extra noise when idling. Also, the car has a hard time shifting (automatic trans). After taking the car to a mechanic, I was told that it's the dsg dmf coming apart and rattling. After doing some research, I find it's a common problem. It started happening shortly after my car went out of cpo warranty, which expired at 74k. I didn't really pay that much attention to it until it got worse. This is a 06 tdi mkv with auto dsg, brm engine. Also experiencing difficulties with soot in fuel filter, likely due to faulty seal in fuel injectors under cam shaft. Once again, common problem according to mechanics and online forums on this model. There's a recall on the dmf for this model in australia, needs to have one for us.

2. 0t engine with dsg triptronic transmission. I've noticed, this occurs when the car has been driven for about an hour (give or take) and it happens in stop and go traffic. This occurs usually during a stop light/stop sign or stop and go traffic. As you have come to a complete stop and release the brake pedal to start moving (in other words no pedal being pressed) the car tends shift/jerk before you press the accelerator. In many occasions, you need to slam the brakes so the car doesn't launch itself to hit a car/traffic in front of you. This "acceleration/launch/trans jerk" last about 1-3 seconds at that point you hear some "metal clunk or some type of metal hitting noise". In one instance, the car's shift indicator went blank and the car didn't respond in highway traffic. Pulled to the side, and car was normal again. There is serious accident potential with this problem. I see there are a lot of complaints with this transmission from other owners (from seeing complaints on this website) including a neighbor 2006 Jetta with dsg transmission & friend who has a 2007 gti with a 2. 0t engine & dsg trans-both have same problem. I really hope someone does and finally look into this problem and help us consumers and most importantly, before someone becomes hurt. Car is currently at dealer, however, they say they can't find nothing wrong with it.

Hi I boughtmy 06 tdi Jetta 2 yrs ago it had 39,800 miles on it and now I see why it was traded in at 40,000 it needs a 560. 00 service that I was not told about. My fault for not reading the whole manual . I was told by dealer that the dsg would need to be serviced at 100,000 miles and it would be good. I brought the car in for clattering noise several times and was told it was normal the car hesitated often and shifted poorly but since it was at the dealer I figured it was normal. The clatter got worse and by this time it was about due for its 100000 mile service but before I could get it in one day driving home from work it soulded like a bucket or bolts feel out from my car the clatter became severe and soon after the car left me sit on the side of the highway. I describe the problem and clatter noise to the dealer and all of a sudden they knew the problem exactly. They tell me its probably the clutches and it can't be rebuilt and then the service manager at young vw laughing a little tells me that I missed two services on the tranny when I bought the car with 39800 and then the car was brought in several times and no one ever told me their might be a problem until now the car sits and I need 5000. 00 dollars to fix it. This transmission is a piece of !@#$%. I don't know how many times I almost got side swiped trying to pull out into traffic quickly from a dead stop.
