The late 2008 cars like the Pirelli use a can bus based system where as the original ones (like mine) use the older style K-line comms. :smiley:

Steve,
Please forgive me, but can you explain what CAN means & K-Line mean ?

It's the language the car's ECU communicates to the gearbox with, CAN is the latest technology that is becoming more common and is what the rest of the car mainly uses.

What are the benifits of CAN technology as averse to K-Line ?
SteveP:
^^^ I knew that was coming :laugh: :laugh:
In terms of the DSG gearbox I would there is probably no noticable benefit (from the driver or performance point of view), I suspect the later cars use the can bus protocal as this is the standard, so most things within the car that are electronically controlled communicate via the can bus protocal.
If you want to get really geekie then check wikipedia :fighting2:
