Hi all, I'm a new member to this Forum. I was recommended to post this question on this T6 Forum, in anticipation that there are some technical gurus who may be able to help.
I finally got round to skim reading all the contents of my T6.1 "Multivan" Owners Manual (Edition 06:2022) that came with our Cali Ocean. Near the back (pages 405 - to 408) it sets out the technical specs for all the diesel engine Multivan models (they've listed the relevant 81kW, 110kW, 146 kW and the 150 kw engined models). I was interested to read that our model (110 kW - 150 PS) corresponds to engine code DNAA. This code is confirmed on the driver door production plate and on the official release paperwork from the Wolfsburg factory (our van rolled off the production line and was signed off on 12/09/2022). However in the handbook, the tech spec for this engine code indicates it is paired with an auto gearbox with code "AG7" (or a manual gearbox "SG6"). On the same page they had the near identical specs for the 110 kW model with the engine code CXHA, only this engine model is paired with the SG6 (manual gearbox) or the DSG7 (auto gearbox). Over the page there is another 110 kW model with engine code CXFA again with a pairing of SG6 and DSG7 gearbox.
I purchased our California Ocean with a DSG7 spec (as that was the only auto spec on offer) and so I'm now wondering if I was actually delivered one? Does anyone know what the difference is between an AG7 and DSG7 gearbox? Could this be a typo in the manual, or is the manual is out of date and all 110 kW Multivans now have a DSG gearbox for the auto gearbox option? I tried to Google how you know what VW gearbox you have and some guidance referred to looking at the gearbox bell housing (from cursory inspection I can't see it) or someone said it says DSG on the gear lever (mine doesn't - but this could be an out dated view from someone).
This could be a wild goose chase, but I'd be interested to know from anyone else that owns a 110 kW (i.e. 150 PS) Cali Ocean that was delivered last year (from say October 2022) what their Engine Code is (i.e. is it a DNAA, CXHA or CXFA - look at production plate on Driver Side B pillar to find out) and whether their gear lever has any "DSG" identification on it? In meantime I'm going to email VW Customer Services in the UK and ask them the same question.
I'd also be interested to know if the Multivan owners manual has a newer edition (than 06.2022) and whether these tech specs for the 110 kW diesel DNAA engine have changed?
