Description: I'm the 2nd owner, and had this car since around 2015 when it had 31.000 miles on it. I've driven it from UK to Lithuania and back, driven it to Norway, tried the top speed in the autobahn. It's an excellent motorway cruiser with generous interior space. Unfortunately it recently started developing issues with the DSG gearbox, and I don't know how much it would cost to repair. I'm not 100% sure what the issue is and what the repair costs would be, I didn't want to sink any money into the car. The last DSG oil change was at around 80.000ish miles. Also there's an error related to the intake butterfly valves. This might be a good project car for someone who's willing to spend some time on the car and get it fixed, or break it down for parts. The car also had roof bars on it, which are included in the sale. There's damage on the driver's side body panels, but I will include a spare door and a spare wing (but the wing unfortunately has some rust on it). I wanted to fix the body damage, but the DSG issues started popping up before the body damage was fixed. I've since bought another car, and the Superb has to go. The car has very fresh two front tyres. It's got a nearly full size spare tyre in the boot. The car starts and drives, but occasionally the reverse gear won't engage.
 

Condition: Used, body work repairs required, DSG attention required, intake butterfly valve attention required

Collection: South Wales, CF38 area (Llantwit Fardre)

The DSG gearbox sometimes does not engage into reverse. There's an error code related to intake butterfly valve actuation. I'll dig out the whole scan.

There's body damage on the driver's side of the vehicle.

Two new front tyres with less than 500 miles on them.

Car been smoked in?
Number of keys?
Heated Front Windscreen?
Interior Colour?
How often does reverse issue occur? (Turn car off and on again and reverse is back, or lost for days at a time )

Thanks again

Car has only been smoked in a handful of times during my ownership of the car, there's no smell in the car that I can tell (and I'm a non smoker).
2 keys
Non heated front windscreen (just your regular air blower heater, not like the Ford's embedded heater in glass)
Interior colour - beige (you can see the colour in the video)
Reverse issue occurs maybe once every 10 times, turning the car off and on again fixes the problem
