Dsg conversion is it worth it

[gjseb]

Been searching for a caddy for around 4 weeks now can't seem to find one in right year and colour in dsg just wondering what cost roughly would-be to have 66 plate caddy converted from manual to dsg,

Thanks in advance

This totally depends on the price you can get the gearbox and selector for. Used prices range wildly as it's totally up to the guy in possession of the used part as to how much he wants for it. I've seen DSG boxes listed for sale for £400-2000. If you are going to buy new parts, at least double that higher end price.
You are looking at 2-3 days labour for a mechanic/auto electrician to get it in and working.

I’ve done a few of these conversions bud and it honestly transforms the van it really does!

I happen to have a very low mile dsg 7 speed box from a 68 plate Caddy that I could supply and fit for £2500

Heff found my perfect van perfect colour just manual, that price you said would it go into a 66 plate also what about pedals and electronics side of it all mate,

Hi bud, yes it would be perfect for your potential 66 plate van.

Work would take approx 3 days as doc indicates and pm me to discuss dates that suits you as I’m quite flexible

Cheers

I would personally say yes! I’ve got a converted 2.0tfsi dsg caddy and I’ve never looked back! The gear changes are great and I’m a lazy driver If you’re anywhere near Huddersfield HD Caddy did mine.

Heff and his good friend medz converted my mk3 caddy to tfsi.
Fully recommend them for this work. Did a fantastic oem finish on my van and 2 very nice blokes too.

Cheers Dan. Your compliments are much appreciated mate thank you!

Hope the van is still making you smile my friend

DSG is the best gearbox and definitely worth investment.
