Not knowing what a DSG gearbox was I had to look it up, and I am still not sure. It is an Stronic and has gear change paddles at the steering wheel which, according to www.carwow.co.uk/guides/glossary/DSG-gearbox-explained, suggest that is DSG and therefore does not have a torque converter. However the Haynes manual tells me it has a VAG type 09G box which does have a torque converter. Are you implying a clutch fault or something else?
