I like it!

After owning 4 MK5's and a MK5 Jetta i feel the need for a change Soooooooooooooooo it looks like my next cruncher is going to be a Passat CC 170 (DSG or Manual TBC)

For what it's worth, having always had manuals, I'm loving DSG. Can't see myself ever wanting to move away from it again!

Where did you guys buy them from?

How easy are they to fit?

Agree it's a really nice, subtle mod.

Got mine from eBay - came all the way from China but was less than £10
Very easy to fit - remove the dash trim and it pops out - took me 10 mins this morning to swap it out

I can see the attraction :)

Doing 90ish miles a day so of which is stop start on the M4 I'm for a cruiser and DSG with cruise ticks all the boxes for me. Just need to find a Passat CC 170 DSG that has had a Cambelt and DSG service which seems to be nearly impossible!

New discs and pads all round and while the wheels were off, put on a set of eibach's too! Oh that's after picking up a nail in a tyre this morning, so a new tyre also. Quite a pricy day!!!

Wow, busy and pricey day! Still, should stop & corner like a demon!
