Re: 6C 1.8 gti dsG

yes limited to 250NM and its a dry clutch but apparently VW claim its so wonderful that it can easily shift in to 60mph in under 7seconds. have seen vids on youtube which show this.
However I'm more interested in its reliability as i dont have endless supplies of money should it go wrong.

6C 1.8 gti dsG

Hi there
Is there an issue with the DSG box on the 1.8 GTI? i'm sure I read somewhere it was a dry clutch which is the same used in the previous 1.4, Fabia vRS and Audi A1 and is known to have many issues and reliability problems. can anyone shed any light on this please about the type of problems.

DSG gearbox

Is the DSG gearbox on the 1.8GTI more reliable these days?

BlueGT BSR remap (rsmagee)

Hi

a couple of years user rsmagee posted he'd had a BSR remap (using the PP3 handheld device) done to his BlueGT. Just wondering he got on with it some 2 and bit years on?
anyone else had a BSR remap? or even superchip?

Re: GTI newb question

Well.....as you have posted your question in the "new" MK8 VW Polo section, then it won't be a concern as the chances of finding a new one let alone a second-hand one are nigh on impossible at the moment :lol: In all seriousness, whist the wife and I now drive DSG models, we did for a tim...
