    2.0T FSI Timing Belt - Time to Replace

    In San Diego, do I have to spend $1K for this project? I am at 90K miles and need to take action. I have asked a few places, and this seems to be the price. It is a big job, but maybe someone has perfected it and I can get done cheaper? Thanks for any shop referrals.

    Is this a known DSG problem??

    I have a "new to me" 2007 GTI (DSG transmission) with 13K miles. I have noticed problems with "response" when moving slowly from PARK either forward or backward.
