Teoky Clutched April 21, 2019 Share April 21, 2019 Hi, Im looking to buy the 2016 Mk 7 Golf 1.4 TSI R line. Have been searching around for reliability on this model but couldnt find much info though. I understand that this model is also using the DQ200 gearbox which is deemed to be a problematic gearbox thus far, not too sure if the issue has been resolved. Also I understand that this model has a higher power output (150 Bhp, 250Nm) as compared to the normal golf of 122 Bhp , 200 Nm. Thus not too sure is there also any difference between this 2 model gearbox and reliability. Any kind souls would like to share on its reliability here will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! :P The gearbox on both models are the same. I think VW has resolved most of the issues with DQ200 though some "issues" that remains are more due to the fact it is a dry clutch setup.Just collected my 09 golf gti. May I know where can i get a copy of the owner manual? Idk how to use the functions and all ðCongratulations! Hope you enjoying your Mk6 GTI?

You can consider Opel Astra or Ford Focus or if money is not an issue, go for MB A200. Don't let heresay ruin your joy of car ownership 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The service interval is 15k, have you serviced your car in between? ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
