DSG Gearbox 1st Gear

Hi Guys

Need a bit of help, Im Just in the process of buying a MK6 GTI with DSG, i used to have a MK5 R32 man so don't know much about the DSG setup.
I test drove the MK6 at the local VW dealer, and as i was coming up to the end of the test drive i noticed that it was selecting 1st very harshly from standstill, then when coming to a standstill it nearly stalled.
I told them that if i was to go any further they will need to investigate. Its an 09 plate 12k registered in May 2years warranty left. Its got all the options i want on it and the right colour so hoping it can be sorted. any idea's what the problem might be? as they have initially said this sat for pick up and i according to some posts this could take a while to sort. 

Cheers for any help

Jay

If its the Car you want and has the right spec then i would buy, but they need to sort out DSG box first.

You still have 2yrs warrenty 

You could  have a new box put it in ??

Steve would you buy knowing it had a faulty DSG?
That is your heart ruling your head and lethal when it comes to buying a car.
I know I certainly wouldn't regardless of a 2 year warranty or not.
Every time your car is in the dealers there is every chance that they could break something else.
If they fix it before hand then that is a different matter

^ I agree with p3asa

I'll be driving it before I sign any papers to check the fault has gone, plus I'm going to get the service manager to sign to say it's been fixed. If it's still the same, in the words of a famous Nole Edmounds show "no deal" !

Yes I would buy it no problems , but as I said it would need to be fixed good and proper!! . I would pay an independent Tec to have it checked ! Dsg's do go wrong and people get scared off I agree but still has 2 year warrenty left.

Sorry I must have misread you then as I thought you were saying buy it as it had the spec he was looking for plus had a 2 years warranty to fix the problems!!

Like I said I certainly wouldn't buy. Especially since there will always be another one just around the corner.

They may even put a new DSG Box in got new car more or less then , I would follow it through see how you get on with the deal once its fixed??
