VW DSG system is king of paddleshift, more efficient, wear i'm unsure never used it but i know you'll find it coming installed in latest ferarri's Plus if your going for big power dsg will take it all day no clutch problems...

Can I ask if you order the DSG gearbox, does it come with paddles automatically or do you have to pay extra for the paddles ????
Cheers !!!!

i dont think it comes with paddles on steering wheel, you have park, reverse,neutral,drive,sport and then you can move it to the left and hit it up and down the gears manually

That would take the shine off it for me somewhat....
Have I read on the forum somewhere that you can retro fit lets say a gti wheel with paddles onto the caddy ? Anyone know what is involved if I'm correct ? If you do could make the explanation idiot proof it would be much appreciated ..... lol
Thanks in advance !

It's quite straight forward from what I gather - do a search mate. Whether the paddles would work or not is another matter - I'm guessing you'd need some extra wiring through the steering column?

My steering wheel came with the paddles and when you press them they show up in Vag-Com so I'd reckon it'll work no problem, all it is is another signal, the same as the manual shift on the gear stick.

Cheers Doc.....
Kind of thought more people would have already went down this route and actually had it working but its not looking like it
