Even though it is DSG7, but the car in question is a Malaysian VW Passat 1.8 TSI.
Those few article helps in clearing doubts about the DSG7 but on the Passat 1.8 TSI.
Now I would like to take an opportunity to share about DSG7 mated to a Malaysia VW Jetta MK6 1.4 TSI which seems to be gaining popularity.
In this post, I've shared that I am now running 177HP and 270NM of torque to the wheels.
This easily exceed the supposedly known 250NM torque limit.
For easier reference
RED is stock power figure.
BLUE is new power figure.
I've have been running with this power figures for about 1.5 months now. In this 1.5 months, I've been to the track, gone on some B-roads drives, high-speed drives and the usual daily grind and everything is still holding up very well.
A complete scan of my car controllers shows a clean bill of health. Even the DSG7 clutch reading shows that everything is working fine.
Even though the period is just a short 1.5 months, I've just wanted to share what is my personal experience thus far and let people judge themselves if the 1.4 TSI / DSG7 combo is as fragile as what people (usually non-owners) claim it to be.
Nothing beats hearing from an actual owner directly.
For information sake, I've use the following fuel type:
Petron RON95 - Nov 2012 to August 2014
Petron RON97 - September 2014 - January 2015
Shell V-Power Racing - Febuary 2015 - current
This car is still being daily driven at the moment and its now clocking 80k km.
