Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Depends on whether you have the manual or the DSG really. For both, regular servicing is key, the EA888.3 is a great engine and provided servicing is done when requried can go a long time. Brake discs are soft and pads are dusty (and soft) so after 40-50K km both will need replacing.Originally posted by tortoise View Post
Clutch in the manual copes well and should last; if you tune the car, the clutch will wear quicker, the manual gearbox itself is strong and smooth. If it is the DSG, trouble could be around the corner at any time. Best to do the fluid changes in that regularly (say every 60K km) even though VW says its non-servicable. The DQ200 DSG is prone to failure ... guaranteed to happen at some point.Current: 2023 MY23 T-Roc R Lapiz Blue + Beats Audio + Black pack 2018 MY19 Golf R manual Lapiz Blue + DAP) 2018 MY18 Golf 110TSI (150TSI) Trendline manual White2014 Amarok TSI Red (tuned over 200kw + lots of extras) 2013 Up! manual Red 2017 Polo GTI manual Black Previous VWs and some others ...
