Hello everyone,

I have a Skoda Superb Sport line 2.0 TDI but I'm about replace it with a

Superb 2.0 TSI 190 SE L.

Welcome to Briskoda are you moving from diesel to petrol because your annual mileage has dropped or just fancied the cheaper fuel, better refinement and no adblue to bother with? Sorry for all the questions just curious as many seem to making the switch particularly in Superbs with many choosing the Hybrid iV option as well.

Thanks for the welcome.

I just wanted to change to an automatic but I'm not fussed weather it's Petrol or Diesel.

I switched from a manual Octavia (which I really liked) to the semi-auto DSG Superb and very happy with decision it virtually drives itself on longer trips with the ACC activated.

What's the differnce between the Automatic and the smei automatic?

semi

All DSG are classed as a semi-auto which should be on the V5C logbook from the DVLA when you receive it. It means it has 2 clutches which have the next gear pre-selected for faster gear changes rather than a normal torque converter which works in most traditional automatic gearboxes like the 8 speed ZF automatic in many modern BMW's. Say clutch 1 has gears 1,3,5 and 7 and clutch 2 takes care of gears 2,4 and 6. When you pull away in 1st gear, 2nd gear is already primed by clutch 2 to engage immediately so when I launch my modified Superb (360bhp stage 1) the gear changes are very fast and it is capable of reaching 0-60mph in just 4.2 seconds (0-50mph is even more impressive as it needs just one gear change and takes 3.2 seconds).

Ahh, the one i'm having is a DSG.

Yours sounds like a bit of a beast!!! to accelerate like that.

Yeah guy in an Audi RS3 couldn't overtake me on a motorway slip road recently which probably doesn't happen very often in an Audi RS model.
