In my logical head I know it should just work but it's a lot of money to get it wrong
You're more flexible than you seem to think. You'll adapt and learn to love what it's good at. Just get on with it.

Dsg oil change and Mot to be done
Nice shiny (new to me) 62 plate Passat estate will be on the drive next week 😀
Thank you to everyone who contributed to my endless what about this car threads. They have been genuinely helpful.
Feeling a mix of excitement and trepidation now. The outgoing Mondeo has been outstanding in its eight years in my ownership and is still a good runner, the new motor has a lot to live up to. My expectation/hope is its 80% as good. If it does that it will still be decent.
Enjoy your DSG. Yes, forget driving manual gear car from now on coz time has changed it's all automatic gear now.
Dsg oil change and Mot to be done
Keep up the oil change routine. It's bloody expensive (paid £160 at an independent vw garage around 4 years ago and most of that charge is the oil) but its worth it to prolong the life of the box. I think it's 40k intervals ( well was on the skoda Octavia I had)
Also have a look online when the MOT is done to see if there are any advisories . I'm picking up my new (to me) T5 tomorrow and it had front disks on the advisory , so I phoned up be told them I wanted them changed before I picked it up. It's DSG too . Looking forward to it
