Hi All, 

 

Does anyone know when the 7 speed wet clutch dsg came in for the 2.0TDI? 

 

I'm looking at an April 2017 FL car but I'm not sure I believe the dealer who said it is a 7 speed. The car is remote to me so I can't inspect/test drive it myself. 

 

Thanks in advance! 

 

PS it's nice to be back after selling my 2007 1.9TDI elegance estate that a ran up to 200k miles!

As well as a six-speed manual the regular petrol version and diesel engine cars can be bought with a six-speed dual-clutch transmission. But, the 245, because it has a chunk of extra torque, has VW’s newer seven-speed wet- and dual-clutch gearbox.

Thanks Kev but I don't the motoring press are reliable. Here is an article from car that states a 7 speed dsg box.

There seems to mixed info out there from Skoda too! 

 

Does anyone have an early FL 2.0 Tdi? 

Wouldn't bet my house on it but pretty sure only the 245 got the wet 7 speed DQ380, the 2.0TDI will still have the wet 6 speed DQ250. 

What's the specified maximum torque? if it's 250lb-ft then it will be the dry clutch variant. If it's more it will be a wet clutch.

^^^ DQ200 Twin Dry 7 speed DSG has nothing to do with this.

They are in the 1.6 TDI's. not 2.0TDI's.  & Max 184lb ft / 250Nm,

 

(& 250NM 192 ps when in TSI's like the 1.8TSI Polo GTI, and those with the manual got 320Nm.)

Thanks folks. 7 speed wet Dq380 are definitely fitted to mid 2018 2.0 TDI s, but I suggested above I suspect early FL was the 6 speed DQ250.
