VW Volkswagen Polo GTI DSG Problem

Looks like the DSG gearbox sometimes stops working and you have to shut the engine off, and restart the car.
biffvids has made this Youtube video of his 2011 Polo GTI.
The car is only four week old, and has a VW Polo GTI's gearbox fault.





DSG explained by a salesperson, think its a Polo GTI

Toyota Camry year 2000 doing over 700 000 miles

Most miles in a car? Volvo P1800

I have always been interested in founding reliable cars. This old Volvo has run about 2.7 million miles and probably a bit more when this is written. 2 700 000 * 1,6 = 4 320 000 km.

Extrem reliability! We know that old Volvo were good and reliable, but not this good.

Irv Gordon has owned the cars since 1966 and is about 71 years old by now. He plans to make 3 million miles by his 73 birthday.

Please contact me, dont know who the photgrapher are, find the picture on a forum.

The following is a email from Irv going trouhg what has been done at the car by 2.6 million miles.

The engine has been rebuilt once at 680,000 miles..completely. The head has not been off since and that was in 1978. I had the work done by the same dealer that sold me the car in 1966 and they still service it today. I had it done as preventive maintenance as I never heard of an engine that could last that long.
Transmission has had the 3rd gear syncro replaced as well as the front and rear oil seals.
 Brake rotors have been replaced once and the rear drums are still original.
Clutch and throw out bearing gets replaced approx. every 450,000 miles as needed.
Carburetors get rebuilt and throttle shafts get rebushed every 900,000 miles
One new starter motor
Two fuel pumps (first pump was changed at 1, 251,000 miles)
Three water pumps
Shocks, bushings, tie rods, etc. are replaced as needed…also at very high mileage…usually over 400,000 miles
Front seats have been recovered twice ( I have no garage and the sun has a tendency to dry out the leather after a while). The rest of the interior is all original
Speedometer gets serviced by Smiths Instruments ( Nisonger Corp.) approximately every 100,000 miles…cleaned, lubricated and calibrated)
All gauges are original including the AM-FM radio
Sheet metal is original except for the rocker panels(rust), jacking struts (rust) and the rear panel due to an accident. The chrome has been redone about 20 years ago and the nose grille surround was replaced due to an accident in 1987.
Original radiator was damaged in the same accident in 1987…and I am on my second radiator.
Heater core and control switch have been replaced once.
Tires are replaced about every 100,000 miles and usually I need brake pads at about the same mileage. ( I use Bridgestone Tires)
Oil gets changed every 3500 miles and the rest of the service is done according to the owners manual.
Brake Master Cylinder and Clutch Master and Slave units have been replace twice each.
Brake vacuum Booster has been replaced once.
