Title: Volkswagen Golf GTD TDI S-A - Whats S-A
Post by: RikWebb on 07 December 2017, 17:42

Everytime I look up my car, it seems to come back with this description
Volkswagen Golf GTD TDI S-A
Does anyone know what the S-A bit is?

Hahaha   Loving some of those answers  :grin: :grin:

I think that 'Semi-Automatic' wins though - that would make sense  :smiley:

south african import?
right hand drive. inferior gearbox and different spec to uk cars.
they are cheaper but not worth it.

Definitely does not stand for ZA import....

It's the DSG it refers to. Mine says it too, e.g. when I look up on Eurotunnel or congestion charge page.

Yes, S-A is Semi Auto.
My Q3 was a Q3 2.0 TDI Quattro S-A
Ignoring all the SlinePlus trim levels etc, that’s the fancy sh!t.

I think it’s for swing axle, the same as in the 1960’s beetles
