Polo DSG Problems ?

[vwlovr]

Hi,

I am looking to buy a 77TSI DSG... would the gearbox be the same as my 118TSI DSG ? I have some annoying issues with the Golf and would hate to have the same on the Polo...

Thanks !

Well its the same DSG7 in the 77TSI. I had all sorts of problems with my 66TDI DSG and ended up selling it after 6 months because it was dangerous to drive. Link to my thread, http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/foru...ger-67521.html

But hopefully if you do decide to buy it, your DSG will be like most of the others 77TSI and actually WORKS. And when it works, I have to agree that transmission is one hell of a piece of kit. Best of both worlds really.

My personnal opinion would be to look else where or get a manual.

Thanks for the info... I wonder what the odds are...

Get the 6 Speed manual...its awesome...smooth and easy to use.....I have used it in Sydney rush hour traffic and i have no problems.

well so far THE_EGG is the only person on here to have issues but they stem more from the dealership rather than the box itself (which was faulty but wouldn't be replaced).

Ok, so 2 polos getting/requiring new gearboxes. Compare that to the oil issues with the GTI.....
