  • 2008 Audi A3 1.8T S-Tronic- reliability?

    Hi,

    Family member is looking for a newish car.

    I would have recommended a new Polo GTI (DSG) but it seems to be riddled with both engine and transmission issues!

    Now, does the car, 1.8T engine or the 6spd DSG/S-Tronic have underlying issues or common faults?

    Basically is it going to be a lemon like the 1.4l turbo/super-charged and 7 Spd DSG I read about here?

    Oh yeah, is the 1.8T belt or chain driven?

    Fortunately I've dodged major issues with my MkV GTI DSG, otherwise I would have sold it, but I treat my car with mechanical sympathy and service it on time.
