Hey! I have the same engine + gearbox in my Octavia. I normally drive 500 miles a week, so I wanted something that was economical, and I am really satisfied. I was able to get 61MPG in the way back yesterday. Most of my time is in the road, but driving in the city is very comfortable. The gearbox is smooth and quick, and I can just leave it in D all the time. Performance wise is good, not amazing

Thank you all for the responses! @Breezy_Pete, sent you my VIN.

Hi, Sorry if it is a stupid question, but I am having a hard time to find out what is the model of the gearbox in my car. Just bought a 2.0 TDI DSG Octavia and to be honest I wasn't very aware of all the issues with DCTs from VW (my first automatic). I read that all 2.0 TDI DSGs are equipped with a wet clutch, which I believe would be the dq381? I understand that the dq200 dry clutch is limited to 250 nm of torque, but checking my car details (it is the 85kw model), the torque is exactly at 250 nm. I am concerned about durability and I understand that the wet clutch would be more durable since the crawl forward would not necessarily bite the clutch, but only utilize fluid coupling. If you have any information to share, I really appreciate! Thank you!
