Sounds like the chain tensioner. Get it replaced and the chain as well. R2500 excl. labour

Re: G 6 Gti dsg whine and trouble starting
If it's already struggling to start, it is likely that it may already be broken.
I wouldn't try starting or using the car until the tensioner has been changed and the cam timing has been checked.

Re: G 6 Gti dsg whine and trouble starting
I had similar issues and really battled to sort them out under warranty.
If you can return car, do it, and look for something else, if you out of warranty.
In my case, I only noticed the dsg whine when in traffic, totally unnoticeable in normal circumstances.
Went to 3 different dealers and all said it's within tolerances, eventually throwing a fit and entire box was replaced.
Starting issues, they gave me the same run-around as you, but fortunately on one occasion the service manager was near car and it started and died, then they somehow managed to find problem - was lpfp in my case.

Re: G 6 Gti dsg whine and trouble starting
From what you said it does sound like the chain tensioner as mentioned above. If the car is a 09-11 then you would have to sort it out immediately.

Re: G 6 Gti dsg whine and trouble starting
If chain tensioner, will starting issues not be all the time and not randomly?
I also thought my sporadic starting issues were chain tensioner

Re: G 6 Gti dsg whine and trouble starting
Where can the kit be purchased for R2500? And what would labour be more or less? My car on 97000kms and not a days trouble. Think it's time to do the tensioner change though

Dsg whine in 1st and 2nd gear is perfectly normal. The hard starting is not.

Re: G 6 Gti dsg whine and trouble starting
Regarding the starting, Similar symptoms was on my friends car, it happened to be a leaking injector flooding the engine after shudown, and the engine will strugle to start or start erratic and then shut down. Mechanics will strugle to find the problem because they only look on computers for problems these days. Remove the injectors and see if the leak some fuel while the engine is in off mode. You wont pick it up via OBD. Hopes this helpes, let us know.
