Hi All

Just had the PRNDS flash of death and had to drive 60 miles home in first gear.

Took to dealers and they say £5k for new gearbox fittedI

a FSH 2006 Mk5 R32 so only worth about 5k

They did offer a wiring check for a couple of hundred quid but VW had recommended replacement due to age etc etc

So at a cross roads as had car since new

I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place

Whats the breakers/auction value of an R32 with non functioning gearbox ?

Asked them to investigate scrappage scheme if I could make a valid claim against it

Any other thoughts ?

I would get a second opinion from someone who is familiar with DSG, It's more than likely the gearbox can be repaired and if not a second hand one can be fitted.
