Hi Lee, 

 

Nice post mate and nice to hear your experiences with the different boxes.

 

£150 is ridiculously cheap for a DSG oil change. I believe £300+ used to be the norm but competition does bring down prices.

 

I don't think the ZF8 is fitted to any car as modest as the Fabia   in the UK. I reckon the DSG 7 is a real luxury to have in such a modestly priced car and for me it just makes the Fabia a cut above the rest in it's class.   Mind you I don't fail to realise for one minute that one man's meat is another's poison.

The nice boys at Shark Performance did my service and DSG oil change.

 

The ZF8 Speed can only be fitted to cars with longitudinal engines not transverse engines so the BMW 1 Series is the smallest car, Rolls Royce Phantom the biggest, lots in between.

 

At one stage DSG in a Fabia was £500, a bargain! 

 

Cheers
