Huge cost of DSG gearbox repair on VW Polo

[kameron]

Hi all, I have a 2012 VW Polo Match and broke down today, I was told the DSG gearbox repair would cost £2500. (2 new clutches required).

I cannot believe the high cost. Is it worth me shopping around? I have an awful feeling it will cost the same everywhere. I was also told very few garages will fix a DSG gearbox. So my options seem limited,

Yes its a 1.4.

I have told the garage to go ahead with the repair. He said I would have to pay half the cost upfront. Which I suppose is fair.
