Hi,
I have a MK 5 Golf 2.0 FSI, which I have had for five years now. When I first got it, I had the usual DSG problems which I managed to fix with a $150 part from Ebay and a very handy Youtube video. I took plenty of pictures at the time and would be happy to share my learnings from that. The car hasn't missed beat since.
I have recently inherited a Mk 6 118TSI which I think has piston problems, so I'm trawling for as much information as I can, before deciding what to do with it. It is in with a VW dealer at the moment, they are going to charge me $100 to diagnose the problem and quote the repairs. I am expecting the worst, so I need to decide whether to repair it or ditch it. I have thought about doing it myself, but I'm undecided at the moment.
Cheers.
