Just to clarify - VWRacing and RacingLine are the same organisation.

Give Mark Farmer at VWR/RL a call - 077 92 32 97 21 - and do say I recommended you (I'm not on any commission etc) - He's very experienced in fitting Quaife's in DSG boxes.

As others have said, it needs doing by someone who is an experienced expert.

Here's a link to a review I wrote : - http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=651.0



^ Quaife DSG on left and stock on right (at VWR) ^



Hey thats my Quaife on the left - I'll have to charge you for 'image rights'  :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

Hmm, IMO you would only want someone who's done the install before to install such a piece of hardware i.e. a specialist. Seems like RR's RacingLine mechanics have lots of experience  so that's where I would think about going to in the first instance.


Why?  The Quaiffe ATB is no different, spanner-wise to any other differential.  The most important issue is to get someone who is a 'transmission' specialist - such as Inde-Tech

awesome gti would probably be able to fit it but i would personally take it to VWR.

Why?  If Awesome have opened up a DSG before, and they are proficient at doing so, then why should VWR (who don't tell the truth) be any better than Awesome.?

If this turns into a VWR bashing/defending thread the big red button will be pushed :tongue:

So how many has he fitted then?

Agreed - but someone who is experienced in your own transmission, rather than a 'Quaiffe' expert.

If you are waving your pinkie at me - then I am just stating there are probably many, many other companies out there who have just as good, if not better experience than VWR - and am just keen to know where VWRs alleged 'experience' on road-car DSGs comes from.  Because fitting two Quaiffes does NOT constitute any kind of 'expert'!

....Give him a call and find out for yourself, T_T.

They've done rather more than two - They've probably done two in the last 7-10 days! What IS your problem T_T? :rolleyes:
