    B class 7 speed DCT gearbox

    Mum and dad currently have a diesel DSG golf, the early ones did have some issues but like my parrents most were fine. They only do about 3-4k a year now and thats why they wont to go back to a petrol. Does the 7G DCT need new oil and filter every so often?

    My mum and dad are looking at a 1.5 A160 CVT, are they good cars?

    They test drove an SE with 17" wheels for that reason, they said the ride was great. Most Audi S-line's can now be ordered without the sports suspension because a few owners don't like the hard ride. I have an X5 and you can also delete the sports suspension now when you do a factory order...

    My mum and dad are looking at a 1.5 A160 CVT, are they good cars?

    Your right about the size of the car being fairly irrelevant if it drives well and you can park it but I had to convince my mum to try other cars. Mum and dad test drove a few cars today and I think they may actually order a new Audi Q3!!

    Was it the pre-facelift models that had the 7 speed Tip Auto? and only the post-facelift that had the CVT box?

    My mum and dad are looking at a 1.5 A160 CVT, are they good cars?

    That makes total sense if its a dry clutch pack that's now used in the 7 speed, I only enquired as my dad was thinking of buying a new Golf SV 1.4 TSI DSG, the service guy in reception was probably just reading off a script and may not have had much technical knowledge about it anyway.

    My mum and dad are looking at a 1.5 A160 CVT, are they good cars?

    Did Merc ever address this issue on the much later ones?. I know its a completely different manufacturer but the likes of VW changed the design of the later DSG modules and they where much better.

    My mum and dad are looking at a 1.5 A160 CVT, are they good cars?

    I have just looked at the pictures and the digital display in the middle of the speedo/rev counter does look like it has a larger display at the top so I guess it does have the parking assist on it. I am guessing this function uses a servo or similar to move the steering wheel?. I think the...

    My mum and dad are looking at a 1.5 A160 CVT, are they good cars?

    I know what you mean about reading more negative things about something on forums than positives. Lots of forum posts on the VAG DSG gearbox problems but then the likes of my dad is never going to post about his hassle free DSG gearbox to even up the posts. Mum and dads current gearbox could...
