DSG vs dual mass flywheel

[Qbol]

Hi, I'm a happy owner of a '16 plate Seat Leon 1.6 TDI with DSG gearbox. My question is about dual mass flywheel. I know that to extend the life of DMF I should avoid driving the car on very low revs and lugging the engine. But that's exactly what DSG does. It shifts up early and keeps very low rpm. So my question is, is DSG killing the flywheel?

hopefully SEAT/VW engineers are more clever than that

but I'm also getting annoyed by to low gear changes, so I stick to S mode

Silles, S is a bit too agressive for me around town. One of the reasons I bought automatic was that I wouldn't have to worry about style of driving. I thought the car would know what's the best. So yes, let's hope the guys at Seat/VW know what they do. Still, I'm a bit worried driving with such low rpm and the effect it has on the flywheel...

I'm sure it's been thought about. The dsg is one of the most popular auto boxes out there so I'm sure you'll be safe. I've not really heard anything bad about them from anybody.

DSG does have a DMF, the kind of torque you need to knackered a DMF is produced if you plant your foot.

If you plant your foot in say D5, the car will drop to D3.
