thanks everyone for your feedback. My Mk2 1.9 tdi estate (2007) is manual and it has not had any transmission issues at all. It has 190K on clock and easily most reliable car I owned !

I was looking at vRS but may need to downgrade to the 1.5 TSi and would welcome thoughts on Auto v Manual transmission - pros and cons please. I do a mixture of local trips and some longer motorway journeys. My decision will mainly be based on reliability rather than a random preference. (I happily drive with either)
