i always buy new so its never concerned me, when I come to trade it in for a new car the garage who sell it on will have to offer a warranty on it so they will be covered. as i said the car still drives perfectly well i even ran a 13.26 at santa pod the other week, its just in 1st and reverse its dodge, and if you do a dsg recalibration via vagcom it fixes the gearbox for a few days before it starts to go jerky again, handy for when you trade it in in the usa vw have covered all faulty dsg gearboxes irespective of mods and even offered an extended warranty where as in the uk they have done nothing despite lots of problems. so why should i pay a couple of thousand to fix it, i will probably buy another golf or scirocco next so vw will end up paying for the dsg to be fixed when you buy a second hand car how do you know its not been modified or used as a track slag or thrashed everywhere even if it has a got a full service history its the risk you take
