I'm considering a 2010-2012 Yeti 1.2 TSI or 1.4 TSI with 100-150k km; it's a bit more affordable compared to other cars, but is the DSG found in cars of that period very problematic? In this price range the only alternative left is the Egea 1.6 E-Torq automatic, but I don't want to buy it because it's naturally aspirated; since I work in the east I do long trips and a naturally aspirated engine is a bit tiring

5 repliesOn long trips, naturally aspirated + manual gets really tiring; if you find a DSG that's been maintained and isn't worn out you'll be more comfortable, and an automatic is easier to sell too, whether it's a 5 or 6 speed. Thank God I haven't had any issues with my DSG car.
Translated from TurkishI'm considering a 1.2 TSI in the 120-150k km range. We'll definitely be careful when buying - almost everyone we ask says those model years are extremely problematic and to stay away, which scares you whether you want it to or not.
Translated from TurkishI'm considering the Egea 1.6 e-torQ automatic if I really won't touch a DSG - even though the engine is naturally aspirated, its transmission is an Aisin 6-speed torque converter.
Translated from TurkishAs far as I know the 1.2s are usually 3-cylinder, I haven't generally heard of DSG issues, but some people do have engine trouble with them. Then again it depends on the user, bro - people also say the 1.4 TSI engines have issues, but I've been using mine for years, I never worked the car hard, never loaded it while cold, paid attention to oil temperature - no problems.
Translated from TurkishI'm looking at the 1.2 TSI 105hp engine, those are 4-cylinder.
