vRS TDI DSG - How many gears?!

[AshGSmith]

I feel like a bit of an idiot asking this but hey, that's what the forum is all about!

I have a recollection that the new DSG 'boxes are 7 speed, is that right? Or am I imagining that's what the salesman said to me?!

Vrs uses the 6 speed "wet" version. I think some of the smaller engined ones use the 7 speed

AFAIK its only the 1.4 and 1.8 TSI who use the 7speed Dsg.

Ah ok, that answers that then, thank you! I've only ever driven 7 and 8 speed autos, so it may be weird it not changing gear as much at first. That said, as it's known as one of the best auto boxes available, I'm sure I won't even notice lol

You'll be fine, the ratios are about right and she shifts smoothly, just the six seems to me spot on.

The 1.6 TDI as well...

1.2 TSI also. Maybe 1.2+DSG is not available in the UK but here it is.
