Hey all,
As of today my partner is now the proud owner of a 2013 132 TSI Tiguan in white. Absolutely in love with it. Picked it up for about 15k, a fair enough price.
I've just got it home and have noticed that it's a 7 speed DSG Box (I thought it was a 6 speed) and I notice these are notorious for problems, what I was wondering is how bad are they and how common are they to be an issue?
The car itself drives well, smooth with a slight gearbox shift feel (i.e. you can feel a slight change in gears) Which I wouldn't think is an issue, but after reading some of the horror stories, I am a little worried.
I notice that VW had a recall to change the synthetic oil to mineral oil in the early models (2008 - 2011) but not much is said about the 2013.....
Has anyone had any experience with these? Would I be better off getting rid of the car and go with something else?
Cheers
Coxy
Long live the manual!
