I had dsg and I think the mechatronic unit was failing, well it did jerk about a bit. I would never have another, I hated it. It was useless in the snow too. Mine was an a3 tdi, I've tried a passat 2.0 tdi 2012 model and still didn't like it. If I was going to go for an auto I'd get a proper one not a dsg. I appreciate others love them though :)
