DSG with high miles?
« on: April 17, 2015, 12:17:18 pm »
So im starting to look around now for a gti... ive only owned my car for almost a year and im not planning to get rid of it until june...ish but thought id start my search after a payrise at work, and a recent change in situation.

So my question is, does anyone have any experience with a dsg box with 100,000k+ on it? only reason im asking is alot of the GTI's i am finding within my price range are now around that mark. i also have mild scoliosis and gives me shooting pains down my left leg on long drives (hense why i want a DSG) ive got about 6k to play with.

Im aware that if its been thrashed its whole life etc its proberly not the best but are there any signs i can look out for when im taking test drives etc?

Any help would be appretiated as im not looking to rush in a buy hence why im starting to look now. :smiley:

My car has 115k on it and the DSG box is perfect. Just make sure its had the DSG services done and doesn't jerk when setting off forward or back. Its should be smooth and have reasonably quick changes.
Considering my car is 10 years old it always surprises me how fast it changes gears particularly at high rpm.
