General Comments
Bought 5 Passats with DSG box over 6 months for company. Every one has had a major gearbox failure with the Mechatronic units failing in each case. Thats a coll £1000+ for the bits alone without the labour cost or the hassle of tasking the cars back continually. Garage tried to tell us they would settle down and stop jerking through the first and reverse gears. Absolutely awful. We have started to replace each one with Renault Espace. After 12 months not a single warranty problem on any of the Renaults.
