Thanks, possibly slightly lighter and a hint bluey compared to Monsoon, but not offensive.
I called CS today, still no sign of a build date, but yep, winter pack IS included
Looking at the title... “7-DSG”... 7 Speed box now? Another bonus in the works??? Price list has the 1.6 tdi’s as the 7 speed, but the Cupra still down as 6... personally fingers crossed for the 7 on the cupra too...
Plus on page 14 of the price list... Cupra ST DSG 4Drive is listed as leather seats, NOT the alcantara... although page 9 still has the alcantara... could you have the alcantara seats heated??

I wouldn't be surprised if we get it. The dsg 7 is "old" already. New mk8 golf will come with a new gearbox next year. But who knows mate.

As somebody who know nothing, the current setup is the dry box 7 speed gearbox is only for lower power cars because the dq200 has a max 250 nm power it can cope with. VAG also want to keep the differentiation between Seat, Skoda, VW & Audi so it makes sense to give the premium models a better gearbox vs the others.
Which setup do they use in the S3/Golf R then? I also don’t know much about the setups.

Dont know for sure but the old mK7 Golf had the same 6 speed DQ250, doing a quick search looks like the new 7.5 one you can get a 7 speed box which I presume is a wet box (so the same would apply on the Audi).
Based on the Wikipedia list I'd guess the R and S3 comes with the DQ381 box. But that's pure speculation based on the provided torque numbers.

Seat U.K. don’t know their arse from their elbow. They cancelled my manual ST order months ago, I moved on and ordered something else. I got a call from them yesterday asking me if I’d accept compensation as my order is delayed. Yes go on then love....I haven’t even placed another order, muppets.

How much compensation did you get offered if you want to share I have children who need new shoes 
I had a call a couple of weeks before I was actually due to collect the car from the dealers. They stated that the car hadn’t been built as they were stopping the manual version of the ST.

That’s my point, they offered me nothing for the fact they cancelled my order 2 weeks before collection. Then phone months later out of the blue to offer me compo for a delayed car I haven’t ordered! Wonder what car it was

Do you have the SLI number (order number) for your order? My broker gateway2lease is the same isn’t the best with supplying information. Best advice is if you have the SLI number is to phone Seat customer service option 7 and speak direct. Hope this helps if you haven’t already spoken to Seat.

I'm with gateway2lease as well, I am being told the end of November (and have been told the same thing for over a month now).
I have no more information other than the supplying dealer chain.
