Caddy Alltrack TDI DSG

Post by fiex »

Hi guys!

I'm looking at trading the Jetta in on a Caddy Alltrack TDI with DSG.

I was initially looking at the 1.0 TSI model (being more of petrol than diesel fan), but decided against it in the end. So I decided that if I'm going diesel, I might as well go all out and get the 103kW with DSG one.

Since I'm new to TDI's (and DSG's for that matter) - are there anything specific I should look out for, and/or take care of? I'm looking at 2018's with low mileage, but it's good to know if there are any issues with the combination of engine and gearbox beforehand.

I read something in CAR Magazine about DSG's needing an oil change every 60 000kms at R4K a pop - is there truth to that?

THX a mil!

Great car , yes needs a dsg service every 60000km , but shop around as dealers run specials , after warranty you can service it alot cheaper around R2k with higher spec oils.

Thx for the info! I'm also assuming the DSG service will not be covered by the standard service plan hey?
