Auto to manual anyone done mk6 yet?

[mittzlepick]

Looking at an auto with high mileage 238k would like to swap it down the line if i buy it

I am sure someone has... but probably not many. While I prefer a cog-swapper over any autobox, the 02E DSG has not only proven to be pretty reliable and durable, but I would even say it is on par with the 6sp manual behind the CR TDIs. So you may find that, as long as you don't mind driving it, you won't ever "need" to swap it.

As long as your DSG services are up to date and you keep doing them on time, I feel like youll be happy with the turnout of it.

DSG transmission is way over Mk4 automatic , I have seen cars 200-250k with 0 problems but of course service was done every 40k.

I own two 2014 Jetta Sportwagens one with DSG Auto other 6 speed manual. both great but I really like the 6 speed manual
