Oh... I also like the look of the Karoq but most of the used ones are 1.5 TSI DSG and I am so scared of all the bad info out there on problems (kangarooing) on that setup that I cannot bring myself to buy one. I worry that all the newish ones available are all nails? Unreasonable? Mark

Hi I am new here. My 530d Touring (2010, last of the e61's) has done over 150K miles and its time for a change. I am looking at the 190HP spec 2.0 TDI Superb Estate with DSG. I read lots of woes about DQ200 VAG DSG but I think this car would have the "wet" DSG? This car is big for the clutch type surely? What should I be looking out for (problems)? I see a few options at good price around the 40K miles mark. What is the service interval? Timing belt? when does that happen? 2.0 TDI 190 / DSG ... anything else I should know? Do these cars have DPF issues...? That became a pain on my 530d. I will be seeing this car through to 100K miles. 4-5 years. Oh... do these engines use Adblue? Never driven a car that uses that. Thanks! Mark
