This is the DQ200 - the dry clutch derivative. The oil change in question is within the mechatronic unit (synthetic oil corroding the electrical wiring in warm climates). The clutches in this unit do not run in oil which gives less drag and faster changes but can have overheating problems. This unit is 'limited' to lower power/torque derivatives - the 1.2TSi, 1.4TSi and 1.6CR, AFAIK it's not fitted to the Tiguan and the 1.4TSi (twincharger) engine isn't sold in NZ given the lack of 98RON fuel ?
The DQ200 is still being fitted to the new Golf, Seat, Polo, Audi models.
