Title: 2013 Golf GTI DSG Fault
Post by: HarrisonAbel2007 on 11 July 2025, 16:15

Hi guys,

Ive found a 2013 golf gti for sale in marketplace for £5k. it has 103k miles but has a DSG fault.

ive seen on auto trader a 2013 gti with 100k miles is worth around 7-8k, is there a potential flip here?

if i buy the car for cheaper how much would it cost to fix the dsg fault?

I can send screenshots of the sellers advert

Thank you!

"dsg fault" could mean anything...

It could be a few hundred quid of parts and a bit of amateur level spannering or it could be thousands and super complex...

Do you know your way around a VW DSG gearbox? If not I'd give it a firm pass...

If it was a simple cheap fault, don't you think the seller would just get it fixed and either keep or sell on at the higher price? I very much doubt there is any money to be made.
