And yes, I'm sure they did know quite early that they had a problem. But what to do whilst they work on the replacement? Stop selling the cars altogether? That would have cost them a lot more money, and ultimately been just as damaging. Instead they opted for damage control.

Or in Fords case NO damage control.
Your mention of how to drive a dsg concerns me, it is brought up frequently in these discussions. Exactly HOW is a driver supposed to drive a dsg correctly so it doesn’t buck, jerk,shudder at low speed. It’s a 2 pedal transmission, the driver only has 2 methods of input. They are simply not fit for purpose.
