Look very good in blue too, agree with @trev 1515 raptor trim or go home

I've been told they're not exactly reliable but I don't know if that was a unique case as I didn't look into it

It has a chorno package and he's going a board maybe leaving by ship (his spelling ), not really interested i know it's it cat d and the fit of the front bumper is a bit suspect but it's actually quite well specced and low miles

A mate sent me this... if I thought I could afford parts/servicing... why wouldnt you? Why are the prices on these so low? Definitely missing something or surely everyone would be at them for that price? Are they a time bomb or dead or...? I know nothing....but Ferrari V8 ftw.

That would look nice with the mesh style grille. Bet it sounds good too!

I’m not sure about reliability unfortunately

 

[Tufty]

I’d love this proper old school with all the cool bits.

A family friend had a new 3200 years ago and it gave bother continuously. He replaced it with a 456 which was had the maintenance costs of a bicycle in comparison.

That was always enough to put me off a Maserati!

I've been in discussions with someone over the last couple of days about a DSG Tiguan. It has 62k and a full VW history, but has never had the DSG oil changed. I found out this morning (thanks to Phillips) that it had a mechatronics unit and gearbox replaced under warranty at 32k miles. Something in the back of my head is putting me off now that its had such a major component replaced, but am I being ridiculous? Could it alternatively be seen as a good thing even?!

Opinions?

 

[veedubnoodle]

I'd say that would be a good thing. Only done 30k so give it a good service now and all should be grand. Would be more worried if it had 60k on it and never serviced

 

[Lyons]

Until I found out about the new box, my question was going to be would 20k past the recommended be ok!

 

[mark19]

Yea being replaced would be good. Esp by warrenty so it's fitted by VW. When I had the audi I serviced the unit every like 28k which is way under what it's meant to be. But it was for peace of mind

Mechatronics units do fail - the DSG oil change isn't recommended until 40,000?

Good thing is that you do get a new warranty on any parts replaced as long as they are fitted at Volkswagen! The new box, wouldn't even require its first change yet until 72k!

It can happen, a friend has had a full drivetrain replacement in his 2017 Fiesta ST with less than 20k miles...

I'm assuming it failed 8k before the oil was due (at 32k), new unit which had oil in it obviously, then as you say its not due now until 72k. Currently on 62k.

How long is that warranty though? The box would've been fitted in August 2017.

I'm pretty sure that you then get the 3 years warranty again on parts and labour - it might be 2 but I think it's 3

I don't think it is unless the previous owner contributed towards it.

 

[carson555]

I had to get a water pump replaced under VW warranty within the first 3 years. I have another coolant leak and was advised that the replacement water pump’s warranty is only valid until the warranty for the vehicle expires (October 2019).

It is my understanding that any parts replaced outside of warranty are guaranteed for two years.

 

[gary87]

I just asked our Service Manager there and the parts and labour warranty is two years on parts that have been replaced

Sorry to be a pain but is that two years on parts that are replaced under warranty or paid for by customer?

 

[Lyons]

I spoke to Listers there and they said it was 2 years too, irrelevant though as that was August 2019!

They confirmed the timing belt was done at 32k also which was nice though.

He just said parts and labour are covered for 2 years - didn't specify warranty/non warranty - I'll ask him here

Stunning Riv Blue R8

Reminds me of @WSM Riv Blue, although think the new FL version is perfect.
