To DSG or not to DSG?

To DSG or not to DSG?

If that's true, then I'm even more disappointed with all the issues regarding the 7-speed DSG. I'm sure our moderator gavs would love to elaborate.



Ah, very true, I forgot about that.

But if it's just a couple of track sessions a year (don't tell VW!) I wouldn't let that sway his decision either way.

However, if the car is going be used for proper racing, then I really think he'd be better off getting a manual.

Ha ha, jus saw this post!! yes, I know, Johnny-come-(very)lately!

2,000,000kms of development kms on the 7spd dsg?! Must have been stuck in 7th at 150kph for the 1,999,999.5kms after it got up to speed. They work great at that point of the power range

I've driven a DSG around Sandown.

Best approach seemed to be to allow the DSG to do the up shifting but use the paddles to manually down shift as you approach the corners.

Spot on.
