2010 Octavia VRS DSG £900 [WIP]

Hi,

I'll be adding more info and pics etc as I get them sorted (plus service history as much as I can find).

Make & Model: Skoda Octavia VRS 2010 TFSI DSG
 

Colour:

Mileage: 146,000 (and increasing)

Price: £900 ono (quick sale preferred)
 

Description:

Chain tensioner and turbo done around 2019 (lacking receipts for this). I've been driving this around for the last year or so with some kind of gearbox/differential bearing issue.

had a light bump in july 2025 - bumper repaired to a professional standard.

Let's start with the issues (in order of severity)
Gearbox or differential bearing is making noise - you also get weird vibration/noise at between 2600 and 3000 rpm.

slight misfire whilst the engine is cold with idle/very light throttle - problem is less pronounced in DSG manual mode.

Car has been known to stall when braking once every few months (releasing brake and re-applying quickly stops it stalling).

Rear driver's side window - motor sound but not moving (suspect snapped cable).

Aside from these issues I think it's fairly sound.
 

Condition: Poor

Service History/Receipts/Recent Service work: Just MOT'd

STILL WIP as I gather receipts
