Should I sell my Volkswagen with DSG now?
I bought a Golf Match DSG as a retirement car and thought it would be trouble free motoring for next ten years.
Really concerned following recent article in Telegraph about DSG failure. Should I get rid before things start to go wrong? Enjoy auto driving but would consider manual - any suggestions?

Get rid now and you will lose a lot of money. Take out a warranty making sure it covers the DSG box. And make sure it is correctly maintained with fluid and microfilter changes on time.
