Title: Considering a MK5
Post by: elliotrushton on April 01, 2013, 08:20:16 am
Hi, I'm considering looking for a GTI, the MK5 attracts me cause it just seems like an all-round cool car..

I consider myself very well mechanically trained, I'm underway with a 6 month saving binge and I reckon I'll be in the 6k + my car (worth about a grand) realm..

My questions are;

1. Is there any engine codes I should stay away from?

2. What are the DSG boxes like? In terms of driving and reliability.

3. What is the worst common fault?

Cheers..
