Aye not a cheap fix or something I could do myself so it's putting me off a dsg

I fear corrosion will get mine eventually, had a steel coolant hose rust through and subframes starting to get scabby

Good to know ,I think the bigger cars have the 250 / 381 boxes ? Vag must of sold hundreds of thousands of cars with those boxes in I just don't want to get burnt

I currently have an early MK3 scout manual and it's been great but I'm looking at newer cars Alot of newer cars and all post 2019 4x4 cars seem to be dsg Read a lot online about reliability issues with mechatronics etc ,some say certain box types are better than others but in reality what sort of percentage fail ? Looking at keeping car long term

Had my mk3 Octavia scout 2 years now and only just found this great forum Il be looking for maintenance advice so thanks in advance

Got the electric actuator off (luckily the valve in the exhaust isn't seized as it's in the middle of a long exhaust section so would be near impossible to get to) Arm on actuator doesn't move at all Watched some videos of them and it seems I should be able to move it by hand ,could someone confirm this ? Thanks

Early MK4 I posted in the wrong section! Can it be moved ?
