Can anyone see VAG offering 10 year warranty on DSG gearboxes to European customers? Course not. But look what happened in China tinyurl.com/cz3ugox - www.autoevolution.com/news
"........Chinese customers have had problems with their DSG-equipped cars since last year. VW officials have acknowledged the faults, have apologized for the inconvenience and have increased the warranty for the gearboxes to an unprecedented 10 years and 160,000Km (100,000miles).
In February, VW recalled the affected cars, in order to install a software update, however it was not a fully-fledged recall, as they deemed it not to be a safety issue. The software updated did fix problems at first, but the over 500,000 affected cars from VW and Skoda came back to the dealerships with even more problems than before."
I assume this is not a wind-up.
