Idiots cut her up want to race her etc etc
We have actually taken the GTi badge off - still looks like one though.
Sad I know but we take keys to bed incase the house is broken into.
Started when we got the Porsche.
So in reality the thing is a bit of a liability. You can't have anything nice anymore 'cos someone will make you pay.
Well million miles away from original thread sorry everyone
Going up to the Lakes today, will put DSG in M and try go fall in love with the box.
Sorry for the rant
Well rear windows are tinted as standard

this isn't too good of a idea, one of my clients scared away people that broke into their house twice (they were after keys to the 911 turbo and r8) they came back next time with a shot gun. They decided to just leave the keys in view this time as it was getting dangerous (they have kids) and its a good job too!, they had trackers on the car anyway and they were found.
bit of a downer of a reply i know!

Sh1t world we live in, well think England has gone to the dogs.
Australia looks more & more promising.
Really off topic now, local police said unlikely underirables will venture upstairs.
Soft dog barking will put most off. Little does anyone know all she wants is a tummy rub :signLOL:

Hi ppl. You may have seen my first posts on the wanted section - i'm looking for an Ed 30. Up until today it had to be a manual. However, I've just driven a red Ed 30 at my local VW garage this aft wit a DSG box. It was different, fun and I liked it...alot.
Questions:-
1) Does the novelty wear off?
2) Have any owners who have had DSG gone back to manual and why?
3) Apparently i've just on here that the clutch(es) last the lifetime of the car - can anything else go wrong with DSG? Someone has mentioned to me £600 for a control unit?
4) Are there any additional servicing costs with DSG?
5) Is remapping an aftermarket jobbie or something VW do/did?
6) Does the Edition 30 have the latest technology DSG box?
7) In the real world, is fuel consumption really better than a manual?
8) I assume the DSG box was an optional extra, if so how much?
Cheers - Phil

All except question 4, the answers no. :signLOL:
There is a 7 speed dsg box out, but as yet not fitted to the GTi in any mark.
DSG was about £1500 extra approx
Service cost of dsg isnt very big, every 40k or 4 years IFAIK.(i could be wrong ( more then likely ) £80 ish for servicing.
:popcornsoda:
Love DSG, and would not go back to manual.

I've just been lucky enough to have a manual and a DSG at the same time and although this will upset the Auto boys it's manual all the way for me! :happy2:
Can't be beaten in traffic etc but for sheer driving pleasure it has to be manual for me! :smiley:
