It cost about GBP6,000 to change.  Of course, the 2.0 DSG is more expensive than the 1.5 Manual anyway.  It also has some rarity value in 2WD form having only been offered during MY19 afaik.  The new car is a year younger, both old and new had done under under 10,000 miles.

Another car dealer rubbing their hands together.

? Is the issues that some had with their vehicles totally fixed?  That is for anyone that did have issues and still have that car.

There do still seem to be issues with some cars with this engine, mine included. From new the car had great fuel economy and decent performance but was a bit rough pulling away in first gear. Garage suggested software update, car easier to drive afterwards but permanent 10% reduction in fuel economy and engine not quite as powerful feeling. Car will occasionally go to sleep for no apparent reason when stopped at junction, roundabouts etc. It did that a bit when it was new and still does it occasionally, not the best feeling in the world when your car just wants to have a nap and there is no easy way to get it moving again... It just seems to wake up again and away it goes.

 

Even some people with the mark 4 model seem to have issues with this engine.
