Statlers 2nd hand DSG boxes £500
worth a punt if out of warranty
How do you/Statlers know you haven't just bought My gearbox or Steve P's or Beddies - odds are they're off a car for a reason and not just cos its been involved in an accident even if it was salvage it might be a bad one anyway.
A lot of this is down to hearsay and rumour which is destroying the products reputation, as an old boss of mine once said - dont let the facts get in the way of a good story....
VW need to act - not because of bust gearbox's because of the damage its doing to their brand. A 5 year warranty is simply a piece of paper - if the product works well and is good for purpose after 3 years it wont cost them a single penny will it?
Is the DSG box generally good for purpose? Personally I think not regardless of how good it is on any given Sunday
