2012 1.6tdi DSG buying advice
Posted: Tue Jan 17, 2023 1:59 pm
I'm sort of considering selling my 2005 1.9tdi MTB/camper conversion on and buying a local 2012 1.6tdi
I really want DSG auto box and air con which this has and mine does not. I also much prefer the facelift with the xenon headlights and nicer bumper etc...
It's done 150k which is a fair bit but the van seemed to have been used for 3 years doing 30k a year according to MOT history, so likely a work fan on motorway stuff.
Is there anything common I should look for on service history? It's MOT history is really clean with nothing but discs and pads being raised.
I have heard the DSG gearboxes need servicing, are they likely to be problematic around that mileage?
Cheers in advance for any advice
