Having (successfully) endured a drawn out dispute with my dealer re DSG warranty, Denlo seem like good guys to replace a mechatronics unit when it was not faulty.Originally Posted by Candyman
Denlo replaced the steering rack,mech unit and drivers side electrics harness
All but the mech unit were faulty
Sold it not long after, as I had always intended to do so

The GTI, about the last three months I owned it, had the usual reversing uphill jerkiness common with that DSG variant (not a fault to me in terms of driving the vehicle)
Denlo reset the DSG and asked me to come back a few weeks later
I told them it still had the issue and they started the process of replacing the mech unit
Was all sorted in a few weeks and as planned, I then sold the vehicle

Ho hum.
On a related note the 8 speed auto in the new F30 3 series is an absolute belter of a gearbox.

This and a few other bits of info surely aren't meaning what I'm assuming
Can't be true

No decision has been made. Just a test drive.
No manuals around to test drive, which makes it hard.

I did about 750km in a 320d fitted with the 8-speed auto last May and it was very smooth in auto mode, but can one manually downshift in an auto/DSG consistently as smoothly as one usually does in a manual?

Ah OK. Auto for boat towing a must :p

Not sure if serious or?
The shifts in both directions in my DSG are virtually seamless and instantaneous - every time.
