#dsg — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #dsg, aggregated by home.social.

  1. One article from *1980* mentions developments in #AutomaticGearboxes - and even dual-clutch #transmissions - and that AP (Automotive Products, a British company which already made an innovative 4 speed auto 'box for the #Mini and other smaller #BritishLeyland #cars) was developing a 6 speed model.

    Nothing much came of this development until almost 25 years later when #Volkswagen and #BorgWarner (formed from a company set up by AP in early 20th century!) picked up development and put the #DSG 'box in mass production in 2003 with the #DQ250 (my own car has a newer version of this 'box!)

  6. Also added red aluminium #DSG paddle shifters (replacing the stubby ones that #VW supply as stock), and selector knob with red #GTI pattern stripes. Got a thinner set of needle nose #pliers with serrated edges to yoink out plastic pins in steering wheel that hold the shifters - all the others I had were too wide by about 2mm.

    Had to fork out £13 Earth Pounds to Admiral (about £5 was admin fee) to declare these for #insurance purposes - insurers do check for #mods like these, their staff monitor social media as do more observant Police officers from the Roads Policing Unit should they pull you over!

    (I sometimes have to use car parks that is popular with "boy racer" types and the old bill keep an eye on these)

  7. Hat jemand die neue Identitätsprüfung von Intrum beim SwissPass schon ausprobiert und die Datenschutz-Regeln angeschaut?
    Wäre interessiert zu wissen, was Intrum mit den Ausweiskopien und Selfies machen darf, ob da z.B. eine "konzerninterne Weiterverwendung" enthalten ist...

  8. I keep seeing this #pictogram (top right hand corner, stick man holding a #spanner and wearing a #rosette ) on parts of #VW cars (it was also on the #DSG gearbox of my Polo). I know it means "qualified/trained #mechanic only should work on this assembly and the one in my picture is a specification of oil and refrigerant for the airco),

    I've not found any sources that #mechanics in Germany get #rosettes on completing their training, and in UK a rosette is either associated with political party membership or you might get one if you won some kind of #sports event (or a beauty contest) so I'm curious as to why its used..

  13. Got a #DSG oil change done this week (it wasn't clear if the #GolfGTI had ever had this done, I only had partial service history).

    My usual mechanic didn't have the kit to do it, but a work colleague knew a lad (her grand daughters partner) who could - he turned up in this modified MK5 GTI (also DSG6) to collect my car and take it to his workshop (just up the road from where I work), so I knew he would do a good job 😁

    Apparently its tuned to about 480PS (certainly sounded like it)

  14. New whip, who dis? 2018 #VW #GolfGTI - Typ 5G Mk 7,5 facelift - 2,0L, 230PS, 6 speed #DSG 'box in Tornado Red (nice solid colour) ordered last Monday, delivered Wednesday from London - got it a day early as I said to lads "don't bother valeting it, will do that myself" (they are into #detailing themselves)

    Spent most of the weekend tidying up exterior (interior still needs more work) and getting used to extra power compared to previous car (I have that standalone #TomTom on the dash not even as much for navigation but as warning not to exceed speed limits, is easy to do (and expensive here)

    Always wanted one since my youth but couldn't afford it then and didn't have licence anyway (sorry Greta, although I did at least go 30 years without driving)

  15. *5 hours* out in the yard today to install new microswitch unit for #VW #DSG gear selector - whole entire centre console of #VWPolo had to come out - a bear of a job, especially removing a fiddly connector for the USB and getting it over the handbrake lever). Switch fitted and then it all has to go back together.

    At least now I don't have "error: workshop! Leave vehicle only in position P" randomly appearing and USB music playback still works #CarMaintenance #AutoRepair #bladibarsket

  16. Eine Frage an alle Menschen, die #Feuerwehr​dienst leisten: Hast Du #FireBoard​Mobile 2 installiert?

    Wie gehst Du damit um, dass die App im Gegensatz zur Version 1 umfangreich Daten sammelt?

    Ich werde FireBoardMobile 2 vorerst nicht installieren, weil mir #Datenschutz wichtig ist.

    (Update: Die Antwort der Entwicklerfirma habe ich als Post angehängt.)

  18. This online article from #WhatCar is fairly useless - many interior pictures show the manual variant of the #cars (only the Audi A1 and Yaris are correct) and is light on detail - not even mentioning #Audi #A1, #VW #Polo, #Skoda #Fabia and #Seat #Ibiza are all essentially the same vehicle (if you do consider a used one check the #DQ200 #DSG box is shifting well, if the pressure accumulator housing in the #mechatronic has cracked it will cost you around £600 to fix)

  19. In der aktuellen Ausgabe des Datenschutz-Beraters habe ich eine pragmatische Strategie für gemeinsame Verantwortlichkeit unter Beteiligung mehrerer Datenschutzregime (#DSGVO, #KDG oder #DSG-EKD formuliert.

  20. Got car back last Friday - one (1) mechatronic pressure accumulator/housing replaced - VW original is steel threaded into just 3mm thick alu and constantly charged to 40-60 bar, after a while the housing cracks and the system loses pressure - common fault on #DSG #DQ200 'box. Some clever folk in #Türkiye make a replacement that a Desi uncle in #Purfleet distributes to mechanics.

    Whole job (more than my DIY skills and tools could deal with) cost near £700 but I'm back on the road..

  25. Do not want : #DSG 'box #DQ200 acting up when visiting relatives at the weekend, random loss of drive/clutch slipping, other unwanted behaviour. Scanned the OBD2 and found multiple gearbox/mechatronic related codes

    Car is now at independent #VW specialist garage awaiting repair (originally only available for 2024-02-13 but they said might be able to do earlier, I can't drive it anyway at the moment)

    As my dad would have said - #bladibarsket (Malaysian English curse word)

  26. Lassen sich #KI Tools wie #Bard oder #ChatGPT überhaupt datenschutzkonform einsetzen?

    Ein guter Bekannter von mir, Anwalt bei Vischer in Zürich, hat dazu einen ausführlichen Beitrag mit einer guten Übersicht, ausgehend vom neuen Schweizer #DSG erstellt.

    Zur akt. #DSG :

    Keine Prognosefrage, aber trotzdem (deswegen?)

    BEST. EPISODE. EVER.

  28. Da will man einmal die #Nebenkostenabrechnung(en) seit Mitte 2018 überprüfen und schon wird die (Ex-)Vermieterin «kreativ»...

    "Auftragsvereinbarung gem. Datenschutzgesetz DSG/DSGVO vom 01.10.2023" - schönes Template habt ihr da gefunden!

    Glaube das will ich nicht unterschreiben...

    Some great news about #ribbit, #rfbitbanger, #Haifuraiya, #Neptune #DSG, and more coming out from all the folks at @OpenResearchIns

    Thank you to everyone doing ambitious work!

    Wednesday's #dumbbell antenna presentation to #RATPAC went very well and kicked off another set of modeling, to be delivered this coming Tuesday.
