im really tempted to get an mk5 gti, things that are bothering me are this coilpack recall thing. if it hasnt been done can i take it to vw and get it done not being the original owner?. and also dsg or not 2 dsg. love the idea of dsg sounds fun, makes me faster. downside is this servicing thing, how much am i likely to spend on a dsg service. and if it goes wrong how much should i have put away for it? never driven an automatic before dont really know if i'll get on with it, but the idea is very appealing. also how often is the cambelt supposed to be changed?
ive heard of the things to look out for when buying (thank you other forum thread!
)like the jumpy sort of gear change especially reverse on dsg. and white worm on badges and wheels, check door seals. anything else u guys can think of? might go look at one tomorrow looks quite good. 80k(miles not money lol) for just under £7000 2005 leather seats, dsg (with paddles), parking sensors, and i think it said the cd changer ..if it hasnt had a recent dsg service should i avoid or just haggle the seller down the cost of the service? or if they have completely avoided the dsg service in its whole history just walk away yeh?
hope thats not to many questions. thanks in advance
