http://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/news/vw-golf-7-facelift-2017-neuer-motor-8547795.htmlFrom the 4.1.2017 article link above (which could be wrong) -
"That the new Siebengang (7-speed) DSG for torque-strong engines can initially only be ordered
for the 150 hp TDI and the GTI Performance, but not for the standard GTI."
"Like the strong TDI from 150 hp, the GTI gets a new Siebengang DSG, which is to
save up to ten percent CO2 and thus fuel."
The diesel figures quoted on the konfigurator don't show a 10% saving mentioned in the quote above. Maybe they don't have the new figures yet, so they are still using the old numbers
The DSG DQ200 dry clutch is for engines up to 250Nm of torque. The 150PS diesel has 340Nm of torque. Previously it used the DQ250 wet clutch, with a max torque rating of 400Nm.
From memory - the new Golf R will have 400Nm, the new GTI will remain unchanged at 350Nm and the current GTD has 380Nm. These engines will not work with the 7-speed DSG dry clutch.
I suspect the new Audi A3 1.8 TFSI is using the 7-speed DSG dry clutch, but then it has only 250Nm of torque.
The data for the new Golf may not be up to date.
I cannot wait to see the data for the GTI Performance Pack.
