Keep away from the DSG box.  I love mine but it seems VW make them from popcorn.
Never liked VW.  My GTI is ace but the company sucks.

Check out the Caddy vans with their DSG 'boxes :laugh:

Also the vosa site sucks - date formats are all American :rolleyes:

I do find it funny that people are now up in arms about the control unit failing its been known about for many years now. I know of a few who have had to have it replaced. Our works car did for one. I know my local DST refers to the box as Disaster Struck Gearbox, or Doesn't Select Gears box and has done for about 4+ years now!

PS
Just to even it up and show no bias the manual box has a week spot too the dual mass flywheel.
