dsg

Took my old mk1 leon to the local dealer as the engine warning light came on, on the way out decided to have a look round the forcourt and the next thing you know I am the owner of an 55 reg Leon TDI Sport DSG. Had a few issues with it but other than that really impressed. Would post some...

Hi, I am currently looking at getting a used Altea 2.0 TDI with the DSG gearbox and i have a few questions about the DSG gearbox that hopefully people can help me with. I have never driven a automatic and only had a brief drive in a Altea with DSG so sorry if these questions sound a bit...

Has anyone (or know if you can ) add paddles to the Altea DSG with the necessary parts? klawit - do you know the parts required? I find I do not use the manual mode on the stick as you end up with your hand off the wheel for too long as with the tdi the rev range is so short. Really...

Thinking of chopping my LCR in for a DSG car as I'm stuck in traffic jams on my dailly commute and have always fancied an auto box. Anyone on here got one? Does the FR come with the steering wheel paddle shifters like the Golf?

In another thread I have asked some question re tuning the new 170 bhp engine for hill climbing. With the DSG it would be brilliant as I could left foot brake - but I have a nasty feeling that it may have a fairly low torque rating - any information would be much appreciated.

I am on target to change my car later this year and with ordering times as they are it maybe sooner than I think. Top choice for me so far is to just upgrade from my current FR but I notice that for similar money you can get the 140bhp Stylance with a DSG box. Has anyone got an opinion on...

I just wonder whether any of you folks have found the car to be an absolute pig for pulling away on even the slightest incline in the snow with the DSG box. I had a couple of moments today when the car just couldn't get going and needed a push. One of them wasn't even much of a hill ,but there...

Hi, I'm thinking of getting a new Altea XL 2.0 Tdi with the DSG gearbox, everybody gives it good reviews. I am a high mileage driver (40,000 miles per year) and I pay for my own fuel so economy is important to me. Most (85-90%) of my driving is long motoway journeys at a constant 70MPH...

If Audi and VW offer it on the gearbox why can it be spec'd on the Leon? I was told by the dealer that its too much power to put through the box ( I guess he meant torque!) so it would never happen. I asked him why VW and Audi offer it and he said the gearbox's are different.....any ideas?!

This has probably been asked before but I am wondering if anyone know if there will be a DSG version of the Leon FR TDI ? I have a company allowance and have to place my order before Mar 1st and was wanting the above car (if it's gonna be a production model). My dad has an Altea DSG and is...

I have got an altea 2.0tdi dsg sport with the 17's and although it isnt snowing yet, i guess it may do over the next few months if we are lucky. Does anyone have any experience of driving the DSG in the snow. As far as i am aware you cant drive off in second? The best you could do i...

Just wondering, is it possible to change the gearbox in a leon cupra to a DSG one? Steve

SEAT UK Press Release • Leon and Altea T FSI FR models now offered with DSG (Direct Shift Gearbox) • Revolutionary automated manual transmission delivers performance and economy • Features steering wheel-mounted paddle shift controls, just like the 2007 SEAT Cupra Championship Leon...

Any issues ? I remember when it came out on the Golf there were a few concerns, just wondering if anybodies heard anymore. Having Driven an R32 with DSG & as my commute tends to be a 35mile crawl, DSG could be the best of both worlds for me ?

D'oh! Title should read Golf Edition 30 not "Gold" sorry Mods!! Ok then chaps... Assuming that the rumours about the engine for the new Cupra being a detuned version of the Audi S3 (265ps) engine...will it have a DSG option on it? As I seem to recall there being an issue with the DSG not being...

Greetings All, my first post! I am just looking at getting a new leon, it will be my first 'fun' car since the kids were born so I am trying to make the most of it. Here is the spec I am looking at: Stylance 2.0 Tdi PD DSG in Luna Grey Sports Pack Convenience Pack Bluetooth Pack...

Hi, Did a quick search and came up dry, apologies if this has been covered and I've missed it. Picked up my DSG TDi on Saturday and since then I've noticed that when it's crawling forward under its own devices when in traffic (no brake, no throttle) there's a slight juddering/vibration. It...

Anyone any ideas if the above will be an option ? on the petrol and diesel versions and will it include paddles ? Im looking at getting a new car to replace my cupra diesel next year and an FR DSG would be the one to go for if available Rob

After two happy experiences with Leons I fancy an Altea with more comfy seating (got a bit of a bad back). Always hated autos but quite inspired by the new DSG system which seems to have the best of both worlds. hoping I wont notice too much of a drop in ''oomph' from the alteas 140 pd engine...
