Hi Guys,
I am on the verge of buying an Altea XL Stylance TDI 140bhp. I had dismissed the automatics but a dealer has one with a DSG box for about the same money as the manuals are going for. I currently have a Zafira 150bhp cdti with a tuning box and love the torque of the motor but cannot live with the reliability issues (but that's another story) .
I had a test drive today and was quietly impressed how sophisticated and well mannered the DSG box was, my last auto was a 3 speed honda civic which was reliable and took a lot of abuse but the auto box was grim.
My main concern is of reliability (I have been seriously traumatised by the Zafira) does anyone have a Seat DSG box with high mileage? I left the salesman saying I would sleep on it and call him in the morning.
They can't all self destruct at 50k surely?
