Hi all and R.I.P my GTI!
GLIDN:
Welcome,
and sorry to hear of the Fate of you prior TR GTI. It sounded like one seriously nice GTI. I too have a TR GTI in manual. But no leather.
Something I can add, I "owned" (was loaned an DSG GTI mk5) for about 7 weeks, while they were replacing my Mechatronics unit for the 5 times in only 4 months on my TDI golf.
I ended up with a Manual GTI in the long run. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy driving my GTI. I do miss the DSG thou. To the point that I'm seriously considering selling it and going to a DSG GTI.
Based on you not wanting to modify your car (I'm sorry I can't see that lasting to long). Go for Edition 30. You can always add many option (accept sunroof etc.) to the car to make it as nice or better than your GTI was.
Maybe you should take a DSG GTI for a day or two from a yard. Drive it and see how you enjoy it? You might not like it at all which will make your decision far easier.

It seems that Mechatronics units are on back order circa 14 days wait.
alexperkins:
Some of the parts come from Japan when i checked with TPS last, so this could possibly have something to do with it.
QD MBE:
A large company like VW should have enough stock, and from enough differing suppliers to prevent natural occurrences such as the Japanese Earthquake/Tsunami creating a large effect on parts/new car supplies.
The don't put all their eggs in one basket, except at the Vehicle/Gearbox manufacturing facility.
There have been rumblings of DSG shortages way before the earthquake.

Again get a good one after doing your homework, and look after it, and I think you stand a good chance of it staying serviceable.

Cheers fellas, just had a little play with a BMW auto in manual mode... I could get used to this... oh dear! Could very well be dsg after all. Also seen a few eddies for sale too. Oh my poor bank account... :signLOL:
