Dsg Transmission Fluid
Q) My wife and I love the DSG gearbox fitted to our Skoda Octavia for its quick, smooth changes and good fuel economy. Does any manufacturer outside the VW Group offer this type of gearbox?

The DSG maintenance service is a must every 40K miles on any VWs or Audis with the DSG transmission. This video will show you how to perform this service wi. It concerns the transmission of chemical substances emitted by a composting plant. The question is whether a technological renewal changes the environmental impacts.

A) The DSG (Direct-Shift Gearbox) is a semi-automatic gearbox available on a number of VW Group cars, including Audi, Seat, Skoda and Volkswagen.
Dual-clutch transmissions offer near-instantaneous gearchanges and theyre also more fuel efficient than conventional automatic gearboxes because less energy is wasted transferring the engines power to the wheels.
The DSG was the first dual-clutch transmission (where one clutch controls the odd gears and the other the even ones for super-fast changes) in the UK when it was fitted to the Audi TT from 2003. I-o data monitors driver. However, many newer VW Group models use a seven-speed version, rather than the six-speed system fitted to early cars.
Plenty of other manufacturers have since developed DSG-style gearboxes, with their own names and acronyms, and fitted them to specific models. These include:
BMW (DCT) 3 Series Coup, M3, Z4
Citroen (DCS) C-Crosser
Ferrari California
Ford (Powershift) C-Max, Focus, Galaxy, S-Max
Mitsubishi (SST) Evo X
Nissan GT-R
Peugeot (DCS) 4007
Porsche (PDK) 911, Boxster, Cayman, Panamera
Volvo (Powershift) C30, S40, V50
Soon, Alfa Romeo will launch a twin-clutch gearbox called TCT in the Mito, and Mercedes-Benz will offer the SLS with its Speedshift box.
