  • Buying a R32 with rebuilt DSG

    Hey guys,
    I've been looking into upgrading from my MK5 2.0FSI to an R32.
    I've found a few with low kms on them and stumbled across one with a rebuilt gearbox.
    Wondering if anyone has had one rebuilt on here and how it runs afterwards?

    As I hear the DSG is a hell of a lot of money to throw at if something goes wrong I was thinking if its rebuilt I wouldn't have to worry about it as much.

    The DSG boxes if not looked after can have issues, but these days they can be repaired & rebuilt at a "reasonable" cost. I use that term loosely.

    If the box has been rebuilt properly it should last a long time if maintained, but you will want to check the receipts & see what work was actually done.
    You should also probably look into which company did the work & make sure they are known for repairing DSG boxes.

      Mine was rebuilt recently and works very well. Its very smooth on take offs and stops.

      My golf is a GTI though but its the same box.

      Drive it first and see if there's no problems.
