Question 1

Is the DSG gearbox in a used SEAT reliable?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when it has been looked after: the wet-clutch DSG needs its oil changed at the intervals in the service plan, while the dry seven-speed unit has no oil change but clutches that wear. On a test drive, check for jerks or shudder pulling away and manoeuvring when cold.

Question 2

Which SEAT models come with an automatic gearbox?

Accepted Answer

The Ibiza, Arona, Leon, Ateca, Tarraco and Alhambra were all offered with DSG on many engines. The smallest engines were often manual only, so check the exact version in the advert.

Question 3

Does an automatic SEAT pay more road tax in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

Not because of the gearbox: the road tax follows the car's CO₂ figure and fuel. A diesel pays half as much again as a petrol car at the same CO₂, and a Leon or Tarraco e-Hybrid plug-in usually only the €30 minimum.

Question 4

Which new SEAT models are sold as automatics in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

The new Leon comes as an automatic with petrol, diesel and hybrid engines, and the Arona and Ibiza with DSG on their petrol engines. Each new version is listed at its Luxembourg list price beside the used cars.
