I's just as effective. Maybe consider getting a remap and they can turn the egr off at the same time.

Nah it was like that before the oil change. Only had the car 3 months or so.

Done last month. Think I'll must accept it and just use launch control every time! :)

When its cold it pulls from standstill and reverses smoothly. Once warmed up I have to let it creep and then gently apply the gas for a smooth take off. If I don't, its kinda jumpy in reverse and pulls away from stand still with a bit of a jerk. Spoke to my seat garage today and he recons that's...

Hi As the title suggests I hoping some one could do a reset fro my DSG on my tfsi Altea http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/6-Speed_Direct_Shift_Gearbox_(DSG/02E) Long shot... Fingers crossed..:) Cheers!!

I would personnaly get the uprated clutch and enjoy the car or go back to a stock map and put in the OEM clutch. If you're paying for labour and changing the clutch anyway may as well pay a few extra hundred and have confidence it can handle the power. Also, if you want to get a hybrid turbo in...

I always take a coffee in a travel mug en route to work. Dsg is perfect for drinking coffee! Obvioulsy, the left hand is needed for the occasional indicate, but apart from that the coffee is flowing! :)

Looks like mines pretty rare. Am I reading it correct in that there are 33 licenced in total, or is that just for the year? https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/seat_altea_tfsi_fr_auto

Do you have any letters, or a maybe a fr badge under your front indicators? My Altea is a late 2008, I was expecting there to be a 'tfsi' badge but alas, there is none.

Altea are probably cheaper too as there is more demand/competition for Leon's.

Ive had both and i recon If you have kids or people sitting in the back alot then go for the altea. Way more legroom in the back. Also, alot more airy feel to the cabin. Which in my opinion is alot more pleasant. Fuel economy differencs will be neglegable.

Any update on this?

Hey. I also have a TFSI dsg altea. Just had my flywheen replaced at 58000. I diidn't have the same probs as yours but after alot of research prior to my replacement it sounds like it may be worth checking the flywheel. Apparently there are prone to failure on the TFSI. How was it driving prior...

£950 poorer, but no squeak. It was the flywheel. Jesus, never expected it'd cost that much to cure! Count yourself lucky SeatJay!

Mechanic recons the noise is coming from the flywheel. So I need to decide if I want to try a new one (£600) in hope it solves it. Or I live with it. They recon the gearbox is fine.

Definitly painfull! Its a dsg but the shifts were fine. Pulled well also. I know what you mean about a lot of work for a noise but I'm concerned if I don't get it sorted it may cause more damage. Although, maybe I should just leave it. Hmm

Car still with the garage. They've located the noise to be coming from between the gearbox and clutch if I remember correctly. Not great, they're going to have to take the gearbox apart. 8hrs work undertaken tomorrow.:cry:

Took the car to the garage again. After alot of drives and revving it was clear the noise was coming from the underside of the engine and not the pulley or anywhere near. Anyway its booked in tomorrow for the day for them to give it a good look and try and figure out what on earth it is.

Not sure. I'll check it out once it stops bloody raining. Thanks for you help.:)

Looks like I can perform that test whilst leaving the alternator insitu and just remove the belt. I'll try it in the next few days. Cheers Jay.
