Buying advise / questions / opinions on B8 DSG 190Bhp
Posted: Mon Jul 09, 2018 5:13 pm
Not been here for some time due to a few things I won't bore anyone with. But looking to get a newer passat and I seen one
It's a 2016 GT SCR DSG with a few optional extra's. It's done 60k in 2 years with full dealer history.
Whats the reliability on DSG on this model? I heard a few things to avoid DSG on B6 and B7 but never read up on it. I am reading now but not finding much.
I really wanted a manual but the guy has agreed a good price and its the colour I want, a GT and a few nice extra's. Its somehow £30 more a year to insure than a R line manual I am considering but its not the right colour for me. Only ball ache is its on the other end of the country to where I am.
Any comments good or bad?
*edit* So i havent found anything online to be of concern - having read synthetic switching to mineral and the DQ200 and DQ250 upgrade. But still any input? numbers
