Hi,
looking for a scart lead but came across this thread!
Been fortunate enough to have had A3 sportback S-Line DSG 2.0 TDi since May this year. I also had a long wait (16 weeks) from order to delivery.
Re the DSG, it is every bit as good as you think it is. The harder you drive, the smoother the gear change seems. Changing up is a dream, but you can occasionally confuse it when changing down quickly. When slowing for roundabouts, etc, best to manually downshift and ensure you are in the right gear to make a quick getway, caught me out a few times!
It's not the most powerful motor on the road by a long way, but boy do you make rapid progress when you are going up the gears....and it sounds pretty good too.
Only criticism I have is if you are sitting at lights and you put the handbrake on, it engages / disengages drive when you take your foot off the brake, sounds pretty naf and causes the car nose to lift up then down again..solution, don't bother using handbrake at lights..
Also quite heavy on front tyres, as I found out after 11K miles..
I am totally sold on this motor, it oozes quality, and when I first had it (and it was clean), the S line profile seriously turns some heads. But above all DSG really makes this car.
Cheers.
