Mk5 GTI Vs Mk6 GTI - Over all reliability
Discussion
Given the Mk5 has a timing belt (cheaper and easier to change than a chain) but also has a lower chain which I understand can cause issues? and has an earlier iteration of the DSG gearbox
But the the Mk6 has a timing chain which i understand can be problematic but a tensioner update can solve? And i assume has a more developed DGS box
Which one is the more reliable and wears higher mileage better?
Not sure what its like in the UK these days (as i have been living in Australia for a few years) But here in Australia Mk6 prices have held firm and Mk5 prices have gone up.... To the point where they are now around the same price for 07/08/09 cars.
by the way - I meant 'overall' not 'over all'
