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
