« Last post by Norwichdaz on 16 January 2026, 17:47 »Tbh the dsg is prob nearly due for oil change tbf i think .
I've only owned the car 4 mths.
Think maybe gear oil change poss needed then ? Seemed a bit odd it was all at once tho, the abs light came on with the esp fault on dash as I was slowing down for traffic lights and then thats when the D flashing happend.

Now confirmed as BS by VW UK
Must’ve been a heavy lunch hour down the Dog and Duck for the Autoexpress editorial team
Yeah, that really smelled of BS. You can't rely on any reliable journalism these days and you'd expect Evo to be a bit better than this.

« Last post by Snoopy on 16 January 2026, 13:55 »Ok ta, yeh "google" says wheel/speed sensor possiblyit would put the light on to show their was an abs sensor fault (ive replaced 3 of the 4 over time on my leon for this, using vcds fault tool to find which was faulty) but it wouldn't stop you moving. The warning light are often used to indicate quite a few different faults. I'm thinking maybe mecatronic dsg control unit issue. When was the last time the dsg oil was changed?

« Last post by TurboTrev on 16 January 2026, 09:40 »Got a couple of calls lined up in the next few days. Looking to order Tornado Red and PP including 19s. The low rate of interest has swung it for me possibly.
Good luck with the calls, I wonder how many cars have been allocated to dealers in this first round?
Cheers. I’ve asked both dealers that same question. Is there a presale then a general sale too?
Yes, I was also wondering about presale, then general sale. There seems to be no information at all on numbers, which is a bit frustrating. Even dealers don't seem to know for sure (or won't say).
Barnetts VW facebook page reckon they got 4 slots and are seeming to imply that will be it? However, they did say the R20 was sold out in late 2022, almost immediately after it went on sale, but VW went on to sell the model for about another year!
The Ed50 is certainly a lovely car and to anyone buying one, I'm sure you won't be disappointed!

On the flip side, the finance rates are OK... HP at 1.9%, PCP 3.9%. (and 3.9 is actually on the high side for VW finance). For some reason we tend to get much better finance rates than is typical in the UK.
