Concerns with 1.4 TSI power output.

The DSG is a sealed box and is not opened at dealer level so I dont know how they could say the clutch packs were wear and tear if they went within the first 3 years.

This may be an issue further down the line..? I know VW designed the box to last the life of the car.

Yup, I was told the same thing. If there is a box issue they have to remove it and send it away to be worked on. Not entirely sure how true that is however.

The seven speed is sealed but not the clutch side.

 

[mardon]

Ah that's pretty good then. Is it a huge huge job to change the clutch or the same as any other car?

so if you have a box problem your screwed lol. ill see how i go i think and decide after a few months whether i want a remap or not

 

[mardon]

Your not screwed in the first 3 years no.

 

[maberzee]

no i mean if you have a map and have a problem you will be, cause im assuming itll be me who pays for it to be fixed, courierd around, etc

I don't think you need to worry about torque, considering that the GTI 2.0T with more torque has remaps on the 7 speed gearbox that are 380nm.

On the 6 speed they can take up to 450-500 depending on where you read and even more if you adjust the DSG settings and fit stronger clutch paks.

I know there is a new 7 speed in development. I didnt they they did the 2.0TSi with the dry clutch 7speed?

 

[vtxracer]

There is no seven speed Dsg in 2.0 L VWs. Only audi has the new 7-speed...

Your right, my mistake. I tend to think of VW / AUDI / Skoda as all one kind of frankenstein of drivetrains and engines.
