MK7 GTI Facelift

[kalimon]

Mpgs will be better by about 4 to 5 and I'm sure the 7 speed dsg is lighter than the 6 speed. I think it's aldi got a higher in limit.

I think it's a Lidl bit lighter as well😀

Should mean Spar better economy.

Are the MY17 Golf getting the new DSG 7 speed boxes that the Audi have moved to? Do not remember seeing this anywhere? Not that overly bothered as doubt notice the difference!

But aside from an extra gear, what is the difference, the uplift?

For some reason, the Audi A3 diesels did not get the new 7 speed wet clutch yet.

I would be very surprised if the more powerful petrol Golfs don't get the new clutch.

As said before, the 7 speed DSG improves both economy and performance. Though I also doubt if either would be very noticeable.

Hope to find out in 2 weeks

What you getting?

How would you tell if the DSG is 7 speed?

It still says 6 speed on the VW tracker so not expecting that change myself

I see

That will be interesting as will it be a Audi type face lift or complete next model MK8

Definitely expect all the Audi received in virtual displays and that 7 speed gear box

I am locked in for 3 years from November, so it will be just of interest,  but as a blind up taker of the original MK 7 it has been quite nice this time to make an informed decision and know what getting

look forward to your update on Frankfurt and pictures

I hope it's not the Frankfurt motor show as we are going to Paris for the motor show LoL.
