Drive a DSG by pointing and pressing.  In between visits to the Dealer to get the mechatronics unit replaced, until the warranty runs out........................



Never had a Mech's unit replaced. 51k and without a missing a beat. :rolleyes:

There was always Hurdys' DSG ED30 running nitrous

0-60mph = 4.4 seconds.......0-100mph = 8.8 seconds.
1/4 mile pre test = 12.4 @ 122mph
438.7hp and 510lbft

No issues either  :evil:
