total cost for vw 6900 pounds

Holy crap! :shocked:

There again the DSG is hellishly complex - as well as the two multi-plate clutches, it has its own oil sump, oil pump, cooler and filter. There are fouteen sensors in and around the gearbox, a dozen hydraulic valves controlling oil pressure to the four gear selection actuators and clutch packs, plus inputs from various systems around the car including the traction control and ABS controller, steering controller and engine ECU. And of course a computer to try and make sense of it all.  :nerd:

This is why in 5 years time scrap yards will be littered with MKV and VI DSG GTI's. No one is gonna pay that to fix a £6 - 10K car.

Just out of interest am I in a position to reject the car seeing as though it has had such a major fault at such a young age ?

Totally. I think that also, if a young child about 1 or 2 years old, gets their finger accedentially stuck in a plug hole and blows its head off, you should be given another one from ebay almost immediately as the child wasnt that old.
