Extremely disappointed with my ownership experience of a 2016 Jetta TDI Highline Automatic from Volkswagen India.
My car has had a DSG gearbox oil leak since Nov 2025, despite multiple repairs at an authorised service centre.

@kuldeeps1@volkswagenindia@VW@AviatorPiyush Exactly.. but what upsets me the most is the attitude from the service centre. Gear problem—> change gearbox. Engine problem —> change engine. Anything else—> change the car. Won’t even try to sort the problem , forget atleast find out what’s the problem.

After months of unsuccessful repairs, I am now being advised complete gearbox replacement costing ~₹7 lakh.
A car serviced regularly at authorised centres should not end up here.
Hoping Volkswagen will intervene and resolve this fairly.
