Volkswagen Golf GTI - HELP!!!! - Ice98

I bought a '57 plate DSG Gti 3 months ago from a second hand dealer. He preformed an MOT with no advisorys, changed the dsg fluid and gave it a full service. 3 months and only 1000 miles later the DSG mechatronics have failed and I'm facing a £900 bill. It onlt had a 30 warranty. Do I have any recourse whatsoever????

MOT has nothing to do with DSG so you can forget that.

Dealer has resonsibilities under SOGA so you will be covered.

marvellous chap that dealer, loves his mum and performed a previously unheard of gearbox oil change at sale point, presumably out of the goodness of his heart, and now that gearbox has gone wrong, is it me.

I hope no one has started work on the gearbox before the seller has had a chance to fix it.
