Tarmac_Terrorist Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Just read in a car mag that to replace a DSG box (including labour charges etc) on an Audi A3 1.9TDI is a hefty £7,500! I assume this is the same set up as on the GTI. Struggling to really believe this cost as it could effectively make a 5 year old GTI a write off from a cost point of view. Anyone know better?

RedRobin Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 ....Ouch!!! £7,500 can buy a whole car, though not a particularly great new car. That's scary. I trust that DSG replacements are quite rare events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt R Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 More magazine tosh! The gearbox is around £2000 to buy, and labour is about 5 hours, my last demo had one!!! Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarmac_Terrorist Posted September 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 The report that I came across was in Auto Express via a readers letter who had been advised of this cost by Audi. Did seem a little hard to believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seventyseven Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Judging by posts/magazines/rumour mill,you'd be lucky to get a DSG 'box from VW even if you needed 1!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Well, given that it wasn't the whole DSG 'box', but I got a new DSG Mechatronics Module within a few days when I needed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
