Need Help with picking between MK5 GT or TDI...

[stickshift3000]

and manual of course!

Have you tried the dsg? I wouldn't rule it out until you have.

I tried both and much preferred the dsg with the characteristics of the diesel engine. 75+% of them out there will be dsg's...

i haven't actually but i really want to do manual i just love the feeling of control and this is for my p's i want to be able to drive anything so manual license the way to go i think..
and DSG servicing really costly...correct?

Stick with manual. One less thing to go wrong and cheaper to fix if it does, especially considering the factory warranty is probably gone.

Though if you end up liking the DSG, go for it.

Fluid change for a DSG is around $400 every 60 000 km.

yeh i love the thrill of manual more auto is just boring..

also forgot before i was thinking of ERG not DPF sorry.
i know its probs a stupid question but i dont like alot about the TDI faults.
i remember someone saying ERG is bad but what does it do and whats wrong with it and how do i fix or get rid of it (costs aswell if possible.)

I've had manual cars in the past (WRX STI 6-Speed) and I think the DSG is awesome. You can be lazy and just leave it in D or switch over to M and change gears quicker than you could in any manual. As for faults if you maintain your diesel it will outlast the petrol equivalent over and over and over again.

I wouldn't worry too much about EGR, get it turned down if you get a tune or EGR delete. Stick in a Provent200 while you're at it and voila.

Ohk and really wanna get my manual license so i can drive anything! so just go with manual for now. thanks for the input tho i do apreciate it.

how much is the Provent and Voila? also hows the installation?

[ForceFed]

Provent200 is roughly a couple of hundred. Fitment can be a bit of a pain due its size. But many have done it.

Voila doesn't cost a thing, it's just a saying like presto or Bob's your uncle.

Ohhhhhhhhhh hahahaha spelt different to the sound never knew how it was spelt haha now i feel like a dumb ass. haha

so Provent does what exactly? (sorry about getting you to explain everything im really new to all this.)
