Our Roomster 1.2 TSI 105 hp DSG-7 speed gearbox is acting up, badly.
I already gave it the service kit of fluids + new pressure container, but to no significant improvement...

Thus, I am now also having a Polo 1.2T DSG-7 parked outside, would an easy attempt to make things work be getting that 0AM gearbox over into to Roomster?

I have no idea what it would take to separate a DSG box from the engine, and reinstall another in terms of anything no longer compatible with gearbox management etc.

Is there an issue with the Polo engine that means you could not swap the Engine and DSG into the Roomster as a unit?

No, that is absolutely also an option. But I would foresee some ECU requirements in doing so (essentially full engine, gearbox and wiring w/ECUs), so not sure what is the easiest approach here. Any inputs welcome...
