Hello and welcome to the forum  :smiley:

The DSG box should be very smooth and not shudder especially this latest version, I like everyone above wouldn't accept the car until it's been sorted, although it may not be the gearbox itself causing the problem,

Regards changing the box if it is that, I had the dsg box changed in a caddy van I bought for work and the good news is that they did such a good job that you would never tell it had been done  :smiley:

£21k for a DSG GTI, that's a good price as I've not seen any that cheap from a VW Main Dealer.  If it were me I'd be concerned over the issue with the DSG. My DSG is nothing but smooth and the nuts, I love DSG, glad I got one.  Using it in manual mode is just superb and the noise the car makes when you shift is very addictive.

Do they still blip the throttle for you as you manually change gear to makes that wonderful sound??

Jay,

Not sure if this helps. I bought a new DSG GTi in Sept 09 and very soon experienced similar symptoms to those you described on your test drive. Very jumpy when 1st engaged and anything but smooth in stop-start traffic. Got worse the more warmed up the car was.

After a couple of visits to the dealer, I had to have the whole DSG box replaced. They said it was due to the mechanotronic unit overheating. They said it wasn't an uncommon fault on the earlier Mk6 DSG boxes.

Not sure if that helps but might be worth a mention?
