Not sure if you've given it thought, but were you concerned with options/changes of the R36 variants?

- White MFD vs Red MFD (Changed over to white late 2009)
- RNS510 V RCD510 (I would have bought one with the RNS if I could go back)
- Sunroof (Wouldn't buy one without it)
- Adaptive Cruise Control (I think only on the MY10.5 R36s)

From what I've read and my own little research I think the earlier 2008-early 09 models had the DSG issues, but they made changes in the later 09 ones which resolved them for the most part.

There was a software update available as well, which my car received a while back and I've yet to see any real problems apart from my squeaky wipers.

Depending on how hard you drive, petrol may be of concern, hah. I tend to get around 10.5l/100km on average with mixed driving so not that bad.

Hey mate,

We have just put a deposit down on a 08 R36 for my Dad, What problems did the DSG have in this year?

I'd appreciate all feedback and the deposit is not binding


cheers
