dsg

OK I know the principle of it, and don't worry, I don't want a detailed report of how it works, but my question is this: it always has the 'next' gear already engaged, supposedly. Does this mean always the next one UP (apart from when you're in sixth presumably), or does it analyse your driving...

what are you guys getting from the TFSi FR in general use, my golf 140 TD ( chipped 182bhp ) shows an average of 41mpg however working it out it seems it averaging 38/39 mpg. Yes this does include driving "briskly":D with the heated seats on ac on and stuck in traffic, but our 1.7 Puma driving...

Had my 30k service today and was told by a chap i know at Droitwich Seat that the DSG box would be available sometime late 2008/early 2009. He's a decent 50 something bloke he loves Seat and was bang on about the new black grill & cupra styling (old now i know) long before i saw it anywhere...

Simple one, does the cruise allow you, when mated to a DSG auto box, to raise and decrease the speed with the buttons completely freely, ie not stopped if you (the car) changes gear (as there's no clutch)? How about when in 'manual' mode, if you change gear does that cancel the cruise, or is it...

Good evening SEAT comrades, I know that the question I am going to ask comes under the category of " How long is a piece of string", but despite that I am prepared to subject myself to systematic, continued, prolonged, harsh abuse and flagellation from fellow SCN posters along the lines of...

For those with DSG how do you find the paddle shift? I know its meant to be ace but does it let you go to the red line before it changes up by itself? Top Gear mag really slated it for its ''nanny'' like gear changes if you pushed the revs to high the car would take over How would a 170...

Hi all, I'm proud owner of the First LEON FR, in the Dominican Republic, if you come by, when you see a Candy White FR, it's my baby. Now, to the question, what do you recommend for some basic tune ups? I mean air filters, blowoff valves, etc. since it's 08 and DSG, I came to you guys...

Is there any chance of SEAT making this ? the 170 + DSG box is already in the Passat, Golf, A3 but why not in the Leon ? dies anyone think it will ever happen? if not has anyone retro fitted the flappy paddle wheel to the 140 version ?

Had my FR DSG for about 6 weeks now and totally impressed with the mating of the DSG with the TFSI engine, its a cracking combination. :D As I said in my introduction on the new members section I have been an automatic gearbox driver for approx 20 years and other cars have been mainly Honda...

Hi, Has anyone on the forum ever attempted retrofitting a MFSW with paddleshift to a leon 2.0tdi with dsg?. I have read over on VWVortex that this has been done on Golfs and Jettas without to much heartache but wondered if this had been attempted on a Seat? Thanks,

Just incase you guys didnt know SEAT are now Offering 0% finance over 3 years with a 40 % deposit on New Petrol Leons FR's Irfan Mohamed M1 Autos

Hi, Ordered my FR DSG on Friday... Can anyone with a similar car confirm whether Launch Control works? According to the GTi guys on UK-mkvs.net this is the procedure: Select S Disable ESP Foot on Brake Foot on Accelerator Revs will spike then settle down to 2500rpm Then wait for...

Hi guys. Whats the cheapest you reckon i could get the following for, and where from? A new Leon FR 2.0 TFSI, DSG Auto Transmission with Bluetooth, Convenience Pack, and ipod connection in Candy white. Options: Gloss Black Cupra wing mirror covers Gloss Black Cupra B and C pillars...

I need a diesel mobile for travelling around the place, and have shortlisted: Golf GT TDi (170bhp) Leon Sport (170bhp) Alfa 159 1.9 Tdi 16v (150bhp) and a E90 BMW 320d (177bhp). Reason for the requirement, is I've put 14000 miles on the CSL since april, and I want to minimize future...

Had a funny the other day. Was accelerating and wanted a bit more poke so shifted into Sport mode. Suddenly had no drive and the throttle did not respond. After about 1-2 seconds it then went again. I wondered whether this is a DSG or engine glitch? If the DSG was about to change up to...

If and when....... Anyone got any ideas, i am really fancying a dsg but not sure which one to go for, either a couple of year old gti or a new cupra if they are ever going to do dsg.. Thanks

I love my Lexus, but I have been toying with the idea of a motor with DSG from the VAG group. To this end, as I previously owned a Cupra R I thought I would ask for owners opinions of the particular model mentioned in the title. My R had its problems with rattles and squeaks and bits going...

Hi, I'm new, so hello! Straight into a moan: I bought a 55 Toledo 2.0 PD DSG in Jan, 11k miles and good condition. I've done 20k more miles since then and generally like the car, loads of space and good mile cruncher. A bit on/off with the power, but the DSG in auto helps that. BUT... I...

Looking forward to this :D My local dealer has their demonstrator in and I have it for a couple of hours today (not doing the 24 hour thing, this is a more low key test). Don't get me wrong, I love my TDI Leon but there is part of me that really misses petrol and the longer rev range. I...
