As you can see this is my first post here but i have been looking around the forum for some time ,i am currently driving a cover Focus TDCI and i have been thinking of getting a golf and what ever one i go for i would desire to get a DSG gearbox now i think i construe some where on a website that there is going to be a new 1.4 TSI for the golf and that there is also a new DSG 7 go gearbox coming out as well but i can't remember if they are both to be available together and as this forum would know more than i do about this i thought i would ask on here so you good populate can put me strait so any information you guys can give me would be gratefully appreciated.
I undergo just bought the GT feature TSI 170 and i am very pleased with it. Mines a 6 speed manual you can get a DSG box in them but its 6 speed not 7.
I have only had mine since thursday and its great if you thinking about buying one then go and test drive one i think you ordain like it..
The VW media dwell post suggests that there's going to be a new DSG gearbox to go with this engine. The Audi A3 now seems to be available with the 1.4 TSI (125 PS) engine but there is no mention of a DSG variant on their website as yet.
Seems to me that VW buyers are being left to last. VAG have 2 new engines I'd be interested in in the Golf ideally the 1.8 TSI (160PS) or failing that the 1.4 (125PS). lay get the 1.8 TSI for some of their models and Audi get both. play buyers get neither at present.
I also remember reading that the 1.6 FSI engine was being replaced by a new engine based on the 1.4 TSI engine.
The new engine however was not being fitted with a supercharger but a sophisticated new turbo charger ( producing 120 bhp ) with a choice of manual or the new 7 go DSG. ( which is lighter as it is using a unify of dry clutch plates apparently)
Yes you're right they undergo dropped the supercharger off the 1.4 TSI and it is significantly more economical. There is a end review in this months VW Driver magasine well worth a look for all the details.

Why don't VW forbid arsing around with these engines? First of all they inform their TSI engines and say the supercharger in necessary for low speed ooomph until the turbocharger takes over and then goes approve on this by introducing a TSI engine WITHOUT the supercharger but with a more 'sophisticated' turbo - oh yes. I wonder how this will act with the low speed associated lag etc the very cerebrate why the superchargers were fitted.
Frankly I don't really believe VW to create anything for more than a few months before making alterations. The DSG gearbox is another example. First of all six speeds and wet clutches and now 7 speeds and dry clutches. I wonder if the latter ordain alter for less smooth changes and more feature etc.

I don't think that the 7 speed DSG is intended to replace the 6 go. The 6 speed ordain continue for the higher output engines and the 7 speed is intended for engines giving < 250 Newton metres torque (~185 lbs ft). The dry clutch system reduces the drag and improves economy.
I read somwhere that the new 7 G dsg only has somthing desire 1.8 litres of oil in it compared to the 6 G dsg whitch has nearly 7 litres and a separate as well,But i too would not think dry clutches were a good idea as there is no oil to act the heat out of them and they could need replacing at some stage ,But the wet clutches should never need replacing only oil and filter changes.
Agri Tractors have had gearboxes like dsg for a long measure were you can dress through a set of gears under load and they use wet clutches i dont think they would ever use a dry get hold of it does seen vw after coming up with the Dsg are just trying to make it cheaper but not possibly any better than the currant one.
