    Hi sorry if I have posted this in the wrong section or using the wrong method. I am interested in buying a Golf 1.9 TDI MK4 in automatic. Does anybody know how these automatic gearboxes are in the MK4? In terms f reliability and usability? Do they require a gearbox service similar to the DSG gearboxes that replace them? The car is a W reg 2000 model and has 103k on the clock.I know very little about them in comparison to the DSG gearboxes in the mk5 golf and onwards. They also seem to be very rare.

    Thanks for all your help much appreciated!

    There are autos but they are very rare in EU markets.

    I know of a MK4 GTI 1.8T that is an Auto. It was imported from Japan.

    Ahh ok, I've decided to steer clear of mk4 auto's. I've decided to go for a mk5 golf 1.9 TDI DSG. Any tips or pointers would be appreciated. Thanks again!

    Once such a car has been regularly serviced, you should have no problem.
