I think it is the case of tires getting glued to the surface as water dries up. It is not a problem at all but your conditions may differ. |

Thanks for clarifying that man, appreciate it! Another issue I noticed is that whenever there is a period where in the car has been sitting stationary for more than 3 days, there is a loud clanking sound the second the car moves forward when I release the break after shifting to D. Sounds as though the brakes are frozen in place or something. Is this something to worry about? |

This is caused by the rear brake shoe/liners locking up and 'sticking' to the brake drum. Common in some cars and especially in VW & Skoda. Search TBHP itself or Google for it generally. An easy way out is not to apply the handbrakes (i.e. keep in a low gear only) when parking for extended periods, especially when the car has been driven in wet conditions and/or the weather is damp. However, this comes with it's own risks depending on the incline of your parking spot. Another tip is not to wash the car and leave the tyres/brakes wet. After washing, drive it for ~5 minutes to dry the brakes out. This worked very well for my earlier Polo, Aveo, Cruze & current Octavia. In any case, do not ignore this as it can lead to total brake locking and/or replacement of brake shoes. |

Well, from what I have noticed is that the sound seems to be emitting from the front brakes. Also once the car gets moving, the brakes have a slight grinding sound when being used for the first 2-3 times, almost sound like what carbon ceramic brakes sound like except without the squeaking sound. I'm not sure what to think about it |

I had a similar experience with the front disc’s on my Civic if parked for 4-5 days of non usage. It was as if the brake pads were stuck to the disc, I had to literally slightly accelerate to get them unstuck. Once the car started moving, the rubbing sound would go away. I had this problem for awhile after which one day the pedal just went to floor, I barely avoided an accident. My mechanic said the disc pads were almost completely worn out, he replaced the pads, skimmed the discs and replaced the brake oil. The problem hasn’t reoccurred after the service. Please have the wheels opened and brakes checked as soon as possible to be on the safe side and update on the findings. Cheers |

There is a warning layer built into (man/all?) brake pads which makes them screech when nearing the end of their life. |

Is this even possible considering my car has done just over 23k? Although it's a 2015 model. |

Another interesting point I wanted to note was that, the advisor say that the DSG in the 1.2 GT do not need to have the transmission oil changed after a certain interval, which I initially thought was every 40-60k kms. He said that only applied for the 1.6 liter engines. Is that true in anyway? |

The DQ200 has two separate oil circuits. - One is for the gearbox body itself which lubricates all the cogs and bearings in the mechanical component of the GB, very much like a manual gearbox. This oil I believe also helps in cooling the mechatronics circuit by coming in contact with it externally - The second is for the valve body of the GB or the mechatronics oil. This is what is the lifeblood of the mechatronics. It is pumped through the solenoids to actuate arms that swap cogs and engage clutches. This is a special oil and the GB takes in around 1.1L. This oil is usually never changed by the folks at VW ASCs. You can change the gearbox body oil every 60K km at the ASC if you so wish. But I don't think they will touch the mechatronics at all. |
