HELP with VCDS and transmission swap.

[enrih]

Hi members,
As a former owner of a great A2 (now on the Sline A3),where i found here amazing help with VCDS and i am asking again from the forum members.
What do the other blocks : Duty cycle mean next to the mileage of the transmission? Is there any way of checking a second hand DSG DQ250 transmission without mounting it to the car without knowing service history. I am looking to swap one on mine since water found his way on the current transmission through the cooling serpentine block.
Thnx in advance.

Perhaps you would receive more responses posting on the A3 forum..

No clear explanation on duty cycles but would guess it has to do with the amount of time the gearbox is in gear with the engine running. As for checking the only way I know is see the car run with the gearbox before it is removed - best to find one with a good warranty or really cheap.
