Hello All,
I'm an on and off member on here having recently owned a TTC 225, an A3 2.0 TDI sport and an A4 2.0 TFSI quattro over the past 5 years. I've just sold my Range Rover TD6 (Money Pit!!!) and I am looking at a cheaper car for a year or so, with a bit of oomph and ideally an auto box because the Range Rover converted me.
Seeing how DSG seems to offer the best of both worlds I think that this is what I'll be looking for. Any views welcome or pointers on what to look out for. I'm on a bit of a budget because of impending wedding next year and having just bought my partner a more expensive car for her and the baby.
I'll be looking at earlier models (2004) and just want to know of any possible weaknesses with the transmission, I'm guessing the engines are pretty bomb proof. I had to have clutches and dual mass flywheels changed on two of my previous audis, are the DSG's prone to clutches? or do they even have one, is it a torque convertor like standard autos.
Sorry for the thick questions if the answers are obvious.
Mike
