VW say "it's your problem; no claim against us". Caller said it's going to cost her $20,000.00 to get the transmission replaced.

[Lawyer suggested that she try to find out on forums etc (here and o/s) if that transmission is known to have that problem.]

I'm not in the market for a new car but if I was I don't think VW would be on the list.

My wife has a dsg 2021 Vw Polo on a five year novated lease from June 2021.
It was about all that was available (and that she liked) at that time (peak covid) and she liked the colour.

She only does 11/12000km a year so at 5 years (2026) it will only be up to 60000kms. At that stage we can buy it for peanuts and sell it or keep it.
At 18 months nothings gone wrong but a seat height adjuster. But only 14000kms early days yet.
