It came. Kinda miss the old packaging thb.

Today my SteamController 2026 arrived. I am enjoying it very much. But I think the packaging of the OG Steam Hardware was way cooler with the explosion diagrams of the guts. Hope you enjoy seeing them again too :)

Octavia 3 with DQ250 (6-gear DSG) whining when decelerating and cornering

My O5E hast the six gear DQ250 transmission. Yesterday after a 450 km drive, I noticed whining sound when letting off the gas pedal, increasing in cornering without acceleration. It also appeared in deceleration alone but got louder in the corners.

When driven today with a cold transmission, the noise was gone. As I had only the short drive the transmission did not get as warm.

I have noticed a really quiet whine over the last two months, when decelerating in second gear upon approaching a stop. Also, the second gear sometimes takes some time to find itself and sometimes makes a firm change. Besides that, no problems are present.

Transmission Oil was changed 10 Months/15.000km ago.

What could be the cause? Is the transmission or differential dying? Is it safe to drive the 450 km back on Tuesday?

Thanks in advance!

Blown out capacitor or glue?

Did my capacitor shit itself or is this glue?

This is on a power supply section of a sony home Theater System I just bought off a flee market. For diagnostics I only have a Multimeter.

Thanks in advance!
