Been asked loads I know lol
« on: February 15, 2013, 05:19:38 pm »
Right I have finally found a dsg ed30 going to view tomorrow. Please can someone give me some advice on how to spot if follower is foobared or if dsg ain't right. Never drove a dsg so I'm new to it. It's a 57reg it's under 50k full vw history much appreciated all

For DSG, jerky when setting off or selecting reverse and slow gear changes or jerky changes (they should be smooth), cam follower you cant spot unless your pulling it apart, I dont know about any diff in feel?

All as above but more common to show when up to temperature!

30 mins down the motorway then into town driving is the minimum time, as it can be faulty just between two gears eg third and forth or second down to first!

Ha ha you say your lot bothered about xenons.
I saw a edition 30 with them a few weeks back and they look really nice.
But I fitted upgraded bulbs and they made a massive improvement.

Good Luck and get a pic up if you buy it!  :happy2:

If the car is standard and has done less than 80k miles, you can be fairly sure the cam follower is ok - as long as the car drives OK  :happy2:

Lets hope so mate. The garage said there going to do the dsg oil change but I'm going to get my garage to do it so I know 110% it's done. Listen to me I already bought it in my head lol. I need to think its hanging so there no surprises tomorrow. Might already be gone
