Picked up a brand new rental Tsi from Moncton, New Brunswick, CA today. Just a fairly base model I assume however engine / transmission specs as per the book are 125Kw / 250Nm mated to the 6 speed DSG. Interesting that they get the 6 speed other than in diesels or Gti/R spec models unlike our Aus spec models (or Aus Alltracks).

Ya, i think they get 1.8T matched to 6-speed, unlike our 1.4 matched to 7-speed

You're correct about the 1.8. Engine size not exactly obvious from a quick glance under the bonnet (or should I say hood, given my present location).

Is it a DSG or just a normal torque-converter auto? Lots of US-spec VWs have normal autos instead of DSGs.

Think you will find the Golf 1.8T is mated to a 6 speed torque converter auto. Engine also tuned for regular "gas" (ie pump octan 87/91RON)Originally Posted by Eaglehawk

You're probably right. VW probably stuffed up the brochure (surprise, surprise). Further Googles says the TDI has DSG.
