01m or dsg?

My son purchased a new TDI with DSG and was very surprised about the trans maintenance cost.

Has 20k on it now, the cost for D I Y appears to be going down.

TDI with DSG. The dual clutch was just replaced for $1700. They are a known bad item and are on drawing revision DC. I could not find a recall on them but the design is bad. The non-VW tech I found to replace it said they all go bad, some sooner than other. Mine had 92k and sounded loud.
