I do drive it hard, I rather hoped that it could deal with a decent flogging (not what I would call abuse, just a decent flogging) Second box has done about 20,000k and going strong.

I have toned down on the take off's a tad, but not much.....I just love the acceleration, it's like a drug!

Tell me about it, drug alright! Every time i am at the wheel I feel like Charlie Sheen at a blow party.

Yeah I have not heard any other horror storys of the DSG so touch wood and I will continue to flog, life is too short to not flog the testicles off my cars!

Add Mechtronic unit to my list of woes....not sure if it is connected to the ECU upgrade (I doubt it) but I am really not keen on getting another DSG (Though I just ordered a Q5 with a 7 speed DSG and the same engine as the gti!! Doh.)

Might need to think over your $65k purchases more thoroughly maybe. Or they give you a better product being an audi??? You'll find out soon enough.

Q5 has the longitudinal version of the DSG box, its still pretty new, but a very slick changing combination

And Audi has unlimited k warranty for three years. That will take me to about 120,000k so if its still going alright then it should be ok.....at least I know the donk is strong (and I will probably get it APR'd too

)

It will also never go around a race track like the GTI has more than once, or get driven reasonably hard on the road...its a family mobile...but I still like it to have enough poke to get around comfortably.
