My2011 103tdi 7speed dsg

[PhillipAudiDealer]

Hello as promised a report on the 103TDI 7Speed DSG .. So in one sentence Holly S**T. It Feels and Shifts very Quickly.. Now Patricks auto care put on the compliance plates and so forth when the cars arrive in OZ . They also fit the Fuel Guide labels... Now if they have fitted the right label to the Car the combined City country drive is now 6.6litres per hundred... that is Awesome.compared to the previous 7.8 in the auto.. Controls on wheel have changed and a 4 motion badge is fitted on the rear tailgate..

I have my first 125 to arrive in a couple of days.. can't wait..

Sounds like a bit of a weapon. Will be interesting to see how a chipped 125 goes with the DSG.

Awesome, can't wait to hear how the 125 goes.
Glad to hear the DSG goes well, just a shame they have so many issues with it.

The chipped 125 and 147/s should handle the DSG fine.
First gear is a bit short when chipped so it will allow for smoother get away (if the mechatronic unit works)

Please post some photo of the 2011 new car.

I have hear nothing but good about the DSG and I'm glad I'm getting the DSG on my car.
Or is it just the graps are always sourer over the fence ?

Haha, by goes I meant accelerates, I don't doubt the longevity of the gearbox. I assume it would be a bit quicker than the torque converter auto.

I know, i just meant the DSG should be able to handle the change from first to second better with the APr upgrade as it comes up so quickly


And by no means are the grapes sourer over the other side of the fence guys.
I am just saying that there are far too many threads on the forum about DSG failings and Mechatronic units requiring replacement that i wouldn't option one.
Sure there may be a few people who haven't had it done but i wasn't willing to risk my almost 40k vehicle being taken away for a few weeks and costing me a fortune to get these things fixed when a manual will do it's job properly and have had no issues so far.

There are many well documented issues with the DSG gearboxes ..... the mechatronics units fail on many boxes .... % it probably quite small (less then 5% of all DSG delivered boxes), yet still a concern for many.

Unless the DSG in the Tiguan has launch control, it will still be slower in real life than a manual. The initial hesitation common to all DSG boxes means the manual Tig will be off the line and on its way before the DSG Tig even starts moving.

Yes, the DSG shifts very quickly (much quicker than a manual) but the hesitation is what kills it ....

With regard to DSG reliability. My searches have not found a thread with post after about mid 2008.. I suspect the problems with the Mechatronics unit may? have been resolved with MY09 boxes. Comments and flames accepted

Haven't if the offroad limitations have been addressed
