+Yigit Gergin Sans a torque converter the DSG should not have any heat issues from reasonable use towing. However care should be taken to not tax the wet clutch disks before full engagement. I wouldn't attempt to launch a boat on a slippery ramp.
Yigit Gergin According to Wikipedia, the first 2 DSG transmissions VW made, they had a problem with them overheating in stop and go city traffic, in humid Chinese weather. Since then VW have fixed this problem, and outside North America, DSG transmissions now have a very good reputation for towing.
hello, I own a Golf Mk-6 1.4 TSI 160 HP year: 2010 with DSG transmission. I will buy a CAravan which is approx. 1000kg. The question is: will DSG cause problems with towing the trailer?
canamrv.ca/towing/car-videos/jetta-towing-visa/ I have used a 2006 TDI for towing over a 100,000 km, everywhere from PEI, Vermont, the Tail of the Dragon in North Carolina with a 16' Airstream Bambi, to about 150 trips Vista Cruisers and R-Pods, Airstream 16, 19' and 22' as far as Fort McMurray, Alberta. Our 2010 with the new 2.0L has done about 90,000 km (50,000 miles) so far. Our 2010 has a DSG and never has overheated.
+Kirk Thomson Kirk, I just bought a Golf TDI and I can't find a hitch or wiring kit to pull my 2400 lb travel trailer (dry weight). I was told my Golf TDI with DSG transmission could pull 3500 lbs. I want to be able to use the electric brakes on my trailer. I'm in the US. Thanks, Claire
OGtubbywanker it's not the weight that is the biggest concern, but the aerodynamics of the trailer. I can tow a 22 Airstream Sport with my 2010, but have a difficult time with a 14' Avenger that is 2/3 less weight, but sits high in the air and has a corrugated aluminum front that is flat. Which engine do you have?

I believe they are JR Grand Aero Towing Mirror Set. But I'm not 100% sure.

No, put the dsg box into sport mode and it will keep the revs up and you'll have no problems at all
Is the 2014 US tdi jetta just as capable?

michelle brown look in your owners manual. Maybe not if you have an auto trans. I tow a boat with a 1.4tsi
Hell yeah
This car is illegal now that we know the VW is using hacked programming.
🙄
Which reference of trailer hitch do you use?
OEM swivel
