dsg

I am trying to decide whether I want a dsg fr or a manual one. I have never driven with DSG, I find the idea of not having a clutch frankly, weird but I understand that some people who like a sporty car also like dsg. I have the option of getting one at quite a good price, pretty much the...

So I currently own a MK1 Leon and have been very happy with it but am currently looking to replace it with a Mk2. I have found what looks like a bargain but it's 2.0TDI Diesel DSG. I've never owned an Auto or a Diesel before. What are people's opinions? Is this a more expensive option to...

Hi, My New Ibiza has now covered 1200 miles, and I love it!! The is only one concern I have is that even with the most gentle driving I cannot achieve better than an average 37 mpg. I used to own a 2.3 V5 170 bhp golf which bettered this fuel economy from new over exactly the same routes...

Hi All, Can anybody tell me where my pollen filter is located as i intend to renew it if i can find the location under the bonnet.Can't seem to find any other info on this matter. Your help would be gratefully recieved.:)

I would greatly appreciate any help in identifying Insurance companies for my Seat Ibiza SC Sport 1.6 DSG. I have tried many insurance companies including "comparison" sites, etc, but none of them have my car on their books and need to refer to their underwriters to have the car added to...

Hey, Well after 2 weeks of ownership I am still loving my 1.6 sport DSG. The gearbox is fantastic. I tend to leave it in auto most of the time. the only weakness is if you are using cruise control the gearbox can go a bit wild at times, changing down 2 gears and screaming the engine to...

Hello. I've just registered on this forum. I'm a proud owner of a petrol FR Mk2. Having test drove both that and a K1 last year I went for the FR mainly because I loved the DSG gearbox so much. My commute into London in the mornings makes life much easier with this set up in and out of...

My new ibiza just arrived at my dealer. UPDATE, Photos uploaded again And here is my top speed. It was downhill and i was following an other car. Normaly, it goes up to 230km/h

At a secret location in Middlesbrough 2 of the 4 in the country Lumina Orange & Speed Blue where there in the flesh, as working for a SEAT dealer i got the privalage of a test drive and what can i say WOW! quickness isnt the word and the sound of the thing music to my ears! Really topped off...

OK I'm sure I read somewhere that the new facelift Leon FR TDi was going to have a choice of manual or DSG. Am I right or just dreaming? If it is true when will I be able to order one in the UK? Been to 2 Seat dealers, and neither seem to know. Think I'm losing it :yes:

Hi All, I've ordered a new Cupra - due in October. I can't believe I've ordered a car without test driving it first but I was just so keen to get the new Cupra when it came out. Having now read loads of reviews, a lot of them seem to be saying the same thing i.e. the DSG system isn't...

Why these are so hard to find? I mean there is only a few on Seat Approved List across the country and maybe 17 or so all together on AutoTrader.... some of them sit there for a while as well from what I've noticed... If i need to I'll go down to England to buy one but the choice isn't too big...

Hi All, Need to replace the front tyres on a Altea 2.0L TDi 140 DSG. Some other threads suggest I should only replace with XL tyres with a higher load index due to the heavier weight. Is this essential? Are original fitment tyres XL? Can anyone advise! Also does anyone have a tyre...

My Dad bought a brand new Leon in Spain (LHD) for his run about out there, its now over two years old (spanish warranty 2 years not 3 like here) so not covered by Seat, he has a fault with the central locking, when you press the button on the fob its locking all doors except the driver side...

I have an ALTEA 2.0 TDI SPORT (140bhp) DSG. (05) It is due for two front tyres as the tracking is out and needs sorting as they have worn down on the inside edge, n/s more so than the o/s Does anyone know the speed rating for this model the tyres currently fitted are kumho 225 45 17 these are...

Does anyone else with the DSG (FR) notice moving off in first or reverse is very jumpy? It's like the clutch is being applied, then removed, then applied, all with the same throttle input. Bunny hopping as an 'L' driver comes to mind. If I accelerate harder it moves off fine but I end up driving...

hi, FR DSG owners just intersested how many miles to a full tamk can you guys average normal and motorway driving also anyone got pics of them lowered and what springs you go for cheers

I have had my Oct 2007 built Leon for 10 days now and loving it. Still finding my way around re features and am confused about the passenger airbag. 1. I do not have a switch to turn it off, just a blanking plate on right of glovebox 2. I do not have a "Airbag Off" warning light behind...

Have got my 1.6 Stylance thats nearly 3 years old, hardly had any problems, one great car so will stick with Seat I think. Been offered £6500 which I think is a bit low. Would really like to upgrade to the 2.0 TDi DSG. Have searched for peoples opinions but nothing specific cropped up...

Picked up my Altea Sport TDI DSG today (2005 model) and was doing the 60 mile drive back from the dealer when I tried to accelerate and the car would not. I was in 'D' and put my foot down and saw the gear display change down to 5th and the revs go up but the car would not accelerate. I then...
