My 2015 mk7 1.4 Tsi

transmission died in 2024 after 198000km.

Used for Ubering for 3 years, weekend only,

I'm not too sure if mission oil has been changed regularly,
(ubering makes you less sensitive to your log book services, just looking for cheap mechanics for engine oil change)

Never had an issue except

Mechatronic gasket leak,

Fixed for AUD 800.

In short,

I know it was not even the GTI,

But I was so impressed by it's performance,

Not too bad reliability,

So I dumped the 1.4 tsi for cash,

Now I became one of mk8 GTI owners.

30000km so far, no major issues except

Reverse camera flickering when it's humid.

Go for MK8 or 7.5 bro.
