Is it a really good automatic gearbox?????

Fitted to what engine?   DQ200 7 speed twin dry clutch has had issues.  Not all obviously.  Then then there are 6 or 7 speed wet clutch DSG,s as fitted to 2.0 litre TDI or TSI that have serviced schedules.       All good as long as fault free.  A few might have issues, just like manuals can.   Edit. Sorry welcome to the forum. If you mean your 2012 1.6 TDI DSG.  They have not the best of histories.  Check if 34h5 was needed or done since 2017.  No matter if not if the box is ok now.  Maybe it has had clutch packs already if ever needed.

I have a 2012 1.6 tdi manual i was thinking of  moving to a 2013 diesel automatic octavia or superb would you recommend this...

Mines been faultless, but then you'll get other owners who've had problems. Difficult question to answer.  

 

 

@bigdavyrich still the same thing. What size engine are you looking at with a DSG.  2013 with a 2.0 TSI or TDI with have  DQ250.  Good, but oil changes should have been every 40,000 miles, documented.
