Hi All

Does anyone know if the wet clutch or dry clutch DSG is fitted to the high powered Polo GTI 2.0L MY 2018 onwards? This would be given away by the requirement for DSG oil changes at 40k miles for wet clutch variants.

Since the dry clutch was used in the 1.8L VAG cars I'm concerned that they may have pushed the operation up to 200BHP. I do not trust the dry clutch DSG to survive beyond 7 years with higher powered engines without clutchpack or mechatronic failures.

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Is an electric car right for me?
