DSG problems

Part 3: let me add as a note: no one has ever taken better care of a transmission than I did, yet it still left me stranded halfway. I always drove manually in traffic, paid very close attention to RPMs, and was extremely careful at stop-and-go to make sure the clutch fully engaged — it had become paranoia by that point. So I want to say I drove the car extremely gently. During long waits I'd shift to neutral and wait on the brake, and I tried everything, basically

I don't think the DQ200 suits manual-style driving very well, I prefer using S mode in traffic, that way you can at least somewhat control the gear shifts with the throttle. @aefuzn get well soon, did you also replace the flywheel during the clutch change? Also, the mechatronic unit is a sensitive matter, unfortunately it doesn't hold up well without a good mechanic.

My 2020 A3 35 TFSI has 110,000 km, I haven't even changed the transmission oil, and I'm using it without any issues

I just got a 2015 Tiguan, 1.4 TSI 150 HP, no problem under calm driving; when I floored it just to try, while shifting from 2nd to 3rd it felt like it dropped into neutral and then oddly jumped into 3rd, the check engine light flickered on and off 2-3 times, it didn't give a permanent error on the screen, let's see, I'll get it checked this week

On my Passat 8.5, in the mornings, 3-5 seconds after the first start-up the car would shut itself off and tell me to restart it manually — the problem turned out to be the flywheel. Since the flywheel was being replaced anyway, we said let's replace the clutch too — it was shuddering slightly in 2nd gear. Current price at the authorized dealer is 95,000₺, guys.
