Thinking of trading my 1.4 tsi manual, 110,000 miles for a dsg, but what 150 octavia has the 6 speed dsg, or even superb, all the adverts dont tell you 

I believe you're only lumbered with the choice of the 7 speed DSG on the 1.4TSI engine. 

 

 

The only pairing I can remember with the 1.4tsi (150bhp) and DQ250 6 speed gearbox was in an AWD Yeti.

Don't think you'll see a 1.4TSI with the DQ250, except as per Gerrycan (which I didn't know).

 

I know it's a lottery, but just to say that my Wife's Polo (1.8GTI) of three years has the DQ200 and it's been a gem - they're not all bad.

The kodiaq 150 1.4tsi ACT is another with the 6 speed wet box. 

 

I was always a bit concerned about owning one myself but I had a leon for 3 years with the 7 speed dry box and it never missed a beat.

The Superb and Kodiaq have never been released with 1.4 or 1.5tsi engines in Australia so they only got the heavier duty 'wet' DSG with 2.0L diesel or petrol engines.

 

A recent trend for Skoda Australia is  for the 'dry' DSG to be replaced with a torque converter automatic and replace the 1.5tsi used in Europe with the old 1.4tsi.

Understandable as the majority of Aussies have never driven a manual and were used to the torque converters fitted when we had a car manufacturing industry mating them to big V6 and V8 engines.

 Dry DSGs treated like a torque converter in traffic will wear out the clutch units, treat them as you would a manual box and it makes sense they will last.

 

Our emission standards are still Euro 5 level and our fuel has a high sulphur content which not good for PPFs
