Fr - Dsg ??

[robertb24]

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

It's an option for the 2. And yes it includes the paddles. But for we, in belgium, we don't have the DSG for the TDI before the end of 2006.

I don't think the build slot for any DSG FR's is until November

In time I think there will be an FR with DSG, just looked at the Leon brochure and only the STYANCE Trim mentions the DSG Box!

Yep, I have also been told that it will be November for the DSG to become available in the FR. They quote: "we will be launching a DSG gearbox in the Leon FR from week build 45 (early November 2006)".


At the same time I enquired with the SEAT Customer Service Centre as to whether the Cupra will have DSG. The reply was: "I am pleased to advise that the SEAT Leon Cupra will be launched with a 2.0 ltr TFSI 240bhp engine, with a manual 6 speed gearbox. We currently have no plans to launch a DSG gearbox in the model."

But I reckon, rom other comments on this forum, give it say March / April 2007 and you might be able to get the Cupra with DSG.

Lastly, for those that like the (AERO) body kit, apparently this is being developed for the FR and should be approved and available by the end of September.

Here's the FR with DSG. It will be only an option for the TFSI for now ( dont you love VW politics ? ). BTW whats an AERO body kit? The current Seat Sport body kit fits the FR already.

May be it is not called that then. But the website does say that the Body Kit is not yet approved for the Leon FR.....here is the link........

Then, look under New Leon 2006, exterior styling, Body Kit, it is part 1P1071670

Yeah thats the one. Here in the Netherlands a FR was fitted with the Seat Sport body kit. So technically it fits. Maybe there are some legislation issues.
