My friend bought a used GTI and has had plenty of troubles but it's a used car of course. Mechatronic unit failed just out of the warranty so it was a chunk of coin to replace. We're engineers so when he got the old part we opened it up and everything looked fine, all the solenoids worked, so it must have been something in the electronic part.

He's from Europe and always drove it in manual mode but people keep telling him that is somehow bad for it. I don't buy that.
