Misfire, DSG or Manual?

Post by scirocco1.4 »

I want to buy a second hand scirocco 1.4 160HP.

Did you heard about a manual car that had replaced engine because of misfire?
Or fault cylinder?

You cannot get a manual 1.4 160 HP in the UK, they are all 7 speed DSG. If it is a 1.4 manual you are looking at then it is 122 HP version.

01/09 - 08/11 2.0 TSI GT DSG, Black / Truffle Vienna

Based on the quality of the English, I don't think they are in the UK
