Hi

First post. I've tried to find the answer on here before posting but unfortunately I've hit a brick wall. I had a Skoda Octavia 2.00 TDI CR SE DSG 2014 model. I can't remember if it was the DQ250 or DQ200 box.

I know at the time I was told to get that model as it had the better gearbox but I'm not 100% which box it was.

I'm now back in the market for a Skoda Octavia from 2019. Looking at Skoda Wiki to try and find which models have which gear boxes, it seems to list 2.00L Diesel models having the 6-speed DSG (DQ250).      It states " 2.0 TDI CR DPF 110 kW  2012-onwards  common-rail, turbocharged  110 kW (150 PS; 148 hp) at 3500-4000 rpm  320 Nm (236 lb•ft) at 1750-3000 rpm (134 mph)".

Looking through AutoTrader at 2.0L SE L 2019 Models it shows as 7 Speed Auto (!?)

Going back to Skoda wiki, the only 7 speed models are  Diesel 1.6 TDI CR DPF 77 kW & Petrol models  2.0 TSI VRS 180 kW (RS 245), 1.8 TSI 132 kW, 1.4 TSI 103 kW, 1.0 TSI 85 kW, 1.2 TSI 77 kW.

So who's right? Why doesn't Skoda Wiki show the 7 speed model or am I looking at the wrong information?

Cheers for any help as I've been on 2 days trying to work this out.

My Feb 2020 facelift 150PS diesel SEL Superb has the 7 speed DSG so I would think the Octavia with the same engine would have the 7 speed box. My car has co2 of 103gm/km and combined 72mpg if that helps.

Thanks - Am I correct in saying that the 7 speed is the dry box (DQ200) and the 6 speed is the wet (DQ250) ? The more I've read online I would say the majority favour the wet box as you at least have the option to change the oil. However, there are sites which seem to give mixed information which is why I'm posting - 

Pretty sure it is a wet DQ381 box.

Cheers - Think I'll be ringing a few garages up tomorrow morning to clarify.

The DQ200 7 speed dry clutch DSG did not get used with 2 litre TSI or TDI,s.  Only used with fwd cars with up to 250Nm of torque.   So the most powerful was the VW Polo GTI 1,8 TSI with 192ps.   The manual version of the same car had 320 Nm.                   1.6TDI CR got the DQ 200 DSG.  As did MK2 Fabia 1.4 TSI 180ps Twinchargers and other 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.5 and some 1.8 TSI,s right up to 2021.         You have the choice of changing both oils used in a DQ200 if you want, it is just there is no manufacturers recommendation or schedule requiring that.
