Gearbox specification

[DILJIT HAYRE]

Hi guys I am totally new to the VW World right let's start VW Passat if I buy a 1.5 automatic is this going to be dry clutch gearbox or wet clutch gearbox and if I buy the two liter is this going to be dry clutch or wet clutch sorry if I've screwed this all up all new to forums oh yes you guys referred to it as a DSG box

I would stick to the genuine oils recommended by the manaufacturer

Any VW dealership should be able to provide the oil but probably wont be cheap though

I get you! Forums can be a bit of a maze at first. So, when it comes to the VW Passat, the 1.5-liter automatic usually rocks the dry clutch gearbox, while the 2.0-liter tends to sport the wet clutch. The DSG box terminology might throw anyone off initially, but it essentially refers to the Direct-Shift Gearbox, the automatic transmission VW is known for. Don't worry about the forum finesse; we're all here to help each other out!
