Having seen a few worrying posts about B6 gearbox issues, I was sure I had seen some more reassuring info on this in another thread. Have now come across it again by accident while searching for something else (as is often the case) so just posting this in case anyone is searching for the same thing!

Thread is:

The B6 Plus is rated at 330Nm as per this Screenshot.
