2014 Jetta TDI - When did this happen?

[reelknead1]

7 speed?

vw.com still shows 6-speed, dunno.

That's interesting. My tdi could certainly benefit from a taller gear

I'm thinking its a misprint as in the back of the book it still says 6-speed but who knows?

Honestly though, I'm surprised they haven't fitted it with a 7 speed. I'm sure it would help with some MPGs

das funny. i would love to have a 3rd gear.




Whoops meanth 7th lolllll

It's entirely possible, there are some lower-power applications that currently have a 7-speed DSG:

There is word that the 2014 later on may be getting 7 speed. Not sure the validity, since it is still just rumor. Would be nice. I think the GTD comes with a 7 speed for the mk7
