Hi guys,
Looking to get a Edition 30 or Pirelli Edition 5 Door DSG with sat nav Xenon. Just wondering what are key things to look out for? i have done some research but i though best to get some tips from previous owner and forum members.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks
Neetin

A decent Service History, ideally evidence of a service every 10k
DSG service every 40k
Test the DSG by ensuring there's no lurching or jerky movements, park on a hill, backside high and stick in reverse, release the brake and let the car go, if its jerky walk away.
Theres plenty of other buying advice out there for buying MK5's, especially on this forum.
Good luck

Service history is paramount on both
Plenty ED30's about and doesn't make much diference between the two , different interior and wheels only , so your taste will decide
If is lower mileage make sure it has been serviced every year

Hi im a newbie. When you say realse the brake do you mean realse the brake and apply gas and if its jerky then walk away? or just when you realese the brake? I don't really know how DSGs even work :indifferent:
