interesting... my car arrived Sep 11 so possible my car was right on the cusp of these build dates.  no word as yet from VW though.

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.

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.
