Looks awesome that Choppers! :happy2: These are really growing on me now, wasn't convinced by them at first!

No I wasn't but having had several as courtesy cars etc and test driving a 185 Sline version in October it was sold on us. Black Edition has 7 speed S-Tronic too... :driver:
That's the dry clutch version?  What donkey is under the bonnet?

Nice, BTW, but not my cuppa!  :happy2:

Does it really? Are you sure? Why would they start going with a wet clutch system on the Audi and keep the dry clutch system on the Polo GTI, SEAT Ibiza Cupra/Boc and vRS?

No I wasn't sure, having just checked the Audi web site, it's a dry clutch system... :wink:

Here you go...ours has the 7 speed unit in it.

S tronic (6-speed)

The revolutionary S tronic gearbox combines the agility and responsiveness of a conventional 6-speed manual gearbox with the convenience and smooth, uninterrupted power of an automatic transmission. The technical basis of the S tronic gearbox is the double clutch. This consists of two lubricated plates with hydraulically-regulated contact pressure. One engages the odd-numbered gears, the other the even-numbered, enabling gear-shifts to be made in a fraction of a second, with no disruption to the power flow. Depending on how the mood takes you, you can either allow gear-changes to take place automatically or, for a sportier driving style, operate the S tronic system using the gear lever or steering wheel shift-paddles. The choice is yours.

S tronic (7-speed)

The extra gear, along with a dry-clutch set-up, results in improved fuel economy and lower CO2 emissions. As with the 6-speed S tronic gearbox, this gear system can be operated in fully automatic mode, or using the gear lever or steering wheel gear-change controls for an even more engaging drive.

I think you may have confused it with the longitudinal 7 speed S-tronic they use in the RS5 - that has three separate oil circuits - one for clutch (ATF), one for the cogs of the gearbox (manual tranny fluid), and one for the centre diff (axle fluid). :nerd:

How does the dry clutch version compare to the wet clutches?  :driver:
