[QUOTE="shlim8, post: 607058, member: 25063"] Mine was the 3rd scirocco registered in SG, a 1.4TSI....so it attracted alot of attention... Powerwise of course no comparison, but stock vs stock, the Scirocco suspension was miles ahead of the E93 335i in handling, but the E93 is much more comfortable while the roc (with std 18") is kind of bumpy. Overall, the roc with the 1.4l was amazing for the money. The problem with the dsg affects the 7 speed dry clutch dsg more than the 6 speed wet clutch (although there are some cases). The main problem is with the mechatronic of the dsg. Scores of the '09 / '10 batches were inflicted (some jerky, some dsg total failure). I hear that VW improved the mechatronic on the later ones, but there are still failures. VW sg even extended warranty on the dsg for the '09/'10 batches to applease the owners. The other problem is with the clutch paks themselves, there's also cars with premature clutch failures resulting in jerkiness in 2nd gear (I think). But the clutch pak issue is less common than the mechatronic. So far I think all the dsg issues were addressed under warranty (but got to wait for parts sometimes). If u mod the car for more power, the chances of failure higher - the 7 sp dsg is rated for only 250nm and the GTI 6 sp dsg up to 350nm. I was running higher than that for my 7 sp dsg for over a year - no problems. 95 ron petrol is ok for the 1.4l roc. Although as mine is tuned, I use 97. All the above info may be outdated as I've not been in the VW forum for a while now, so maybe the issues have been fixed.... And I'm aware that there is a new model to at least the 6 sp dsg. BTW, it also affects the audi version of the dual clutch box also. Anyway the good thing is that VW Malaysia provides a 5 yr warranty, so at least the problems will be fixed foc. The Sharan may be using the newer version of the 6 sp wet clutch dsg. Don't mean to scare you ! ** EDITED - for clarity, VW with 1.4l single turbo/super+turbo = 7 sp dry clutch dsg. VW with 2l turbo = 6 sp wet clutch dsg. [/QUOTE]
