For the warm start issue it sounds like one of the engine sensors is not working well, possibly the coolant temp sensor. I would get a diagnostics box plugged in. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

My mate had a 2006 and his DMF failed and took the gearbox with it. http://www.twin-turbo.co.uk

Problem with vags post 2003 The pd engines are bullet proof the rest arent built to last, as if you keep your vag for 10 years plus you won't buy a new one! Is anything built to last these days? Surely its pretty much throw away after 10 years with everything modern. On 7th Oct, 2010 5haneJ said:

Are 6 speeds better? Would it be possible to fit a 6 speed when this box gives up completely? I believe the 5 and 6 speed boxes are interchangeable. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Surely its pretty much throw away after 10 years with everything modern. Unfortunately very true, it one of the continuing discussions at work lately. You are 'forced' to put cheap sh!t in appliances to be able to compete with the market. Problem is that applainces should remain safe untill people stop using it, also in extreme cases... some companies take shortcuts that create untollerable (sp?) risks, just to make mony.. unacceptable in my eyes! (and fortunately also to company I work for) On 11th Sep, 2013 apbellamy said:

That makes things a bit interesting, I do quite a few motorway kms so would help economy. But are these 6speed boxes any stronger? Dazed and Confused.... |

Strong enough, but there was a known issue with the diff bolts from memory. Ours spat something right out the side of the gearbox casing but still worked fine. Poor mini got the blame for the leaking oil at first. New gearbox under warranty. On 24th Dec, 2008 Nic said:
