Buy a Cupra DSG6 or DSG7?

[cupracon]

Hi guys, I'm trying to buy a Leon Cupra 300 FWD DSG6 but after 4 months I hadn't found any good european deal with "under 50 000 km". I would like a 2018 model because pre OPF and DSG6 reliability. There are some 2018-2019 DSG7 deals but I'm worried for the dry clutches problems. Is the 7DSG dry clutches this bad?

The DSG in Seat’s Leon Cupra equipped with the 7 speed DSG transmission is the DQ381 unit. This is a wet clutch transmission; used because of the higher torque output of the Cupra.

So even the DSG7 is a wet clutche? Hm, and is it reliable as the DSG6? Because I had read that, more or less, every 60 000km it will need to be change and I'm a little worried about. It's not cheap if we consider 2-2,5k euro every time.

Correct - the 7 speed DSG in the Cupra and a lot of 2018> 2.0tdi/tsi VAG (audi/VW/seat/skoda) cars is wet clutch.
It will (should) not need a rebuild every 60k km!
Just an oil change at the correct interval.

This has some detail on the various DSG versions:

It is the DQ200 is the dry clutch 7 speed which doesn't have the best reputation - but I think most of that stems from the early versions. These are only fitted to engines with torque limit of <250Nm

DSG6 is the DQ250, which also has wet clutches. I have this in my 2015 Cupra ST280
