DCT Chatter in Idle

O Haiii · 10-04-2019, 12:44 PM

Is it just my car or do DCTs make loud chattering noises when in idle? Im sitting at the light in D1 or 1 (if you're on manual mode) and DCT makes these chattering noises that sound like the car's about to fall apart. When i start off and get going the noise goes away. Anyone else experiencing this?

Mine makes zero noise at idle. I would have the dealer check your transmission.

Zero noise at idle here.

Wow.... not the responses I wanted to hear.

No chatter here either...sorry. Have you owned since new? Did it just recently start?

‘18 DCT here, and no. I’d get it to the dealership ASAP.

There is some noise if I hold the brake while the car is in crawling mode. Otherwise no sound if car is completely stopped. The best option would be to go to your dealer asap.

17 OG here, no chatter what so ever.

I notice more vibration when idle if the car is in sport+ compared to comfort. Don't think that's transmission related.

Yes, i bought the car new and the noise has been present since the beginning. However when i took my car in for the break-in service i asked the service advisor and she said it's normal for dct to make more noise than traditional automatics. However I am doubtful that this level and type of noise is normal. Hopefully i'm being paranoid but i don't think i am.

You need to find a cars and coffee and meet up with another DCT owner to compare
