Hi, I'm looking at buying a 2011 Octavia 1.2TSI DSG automatic, approx 95,000km. Is there any major service due at that mileage? I think it's a chain rather than a belt; are there any known issues I should look out for? Also does that DSG box require an oil change/service?
Hi Sean,
First up, you're correct: it does indeed have a timing chain. In terms of servicing, there is nothing major on the horizon that we can see. Every two years, the brake fluid and cabin filter should be replaced. The service schedule makes no mention of extra servicing of the gearbox, other than keeping an eye out for oil leaks.
