Before you buy this car
From the generation guide
- On a dry DSG, test the car in slow, stop-and-go traffic and when pulling away from rest. Judder and slow shifts are the reported faults.
- Ask for invoices showing wet DSG oil changes. The interval is every 60,000 km on the DQ250 and 60,000-120,000 km on the DQ381. Follow the service book.
- Ask how the car was used. Short trips make the EGR valve and particulate filter clog. Take the car on a longer run and check the fault memory.
- Ask whether the AdBlue system has been repaired. Check for AdBlue warnings. The car will not restart once the AdBlue range runs out.
- Ask for the TÜV report. Check the springs and brake discs, which are often flagged at inspection.
- Test the infotainment, Bluetooth, navigation and rear camera on a 2014-2016 car. Check the window lifters too.
