вот нашел в сша и гон-конге в конце 2009го - отзывают и гарантии дают... http://www.td.gov.hk/filemanager/en/content_1179/10000294.html Description of Defect, how it came to light, and possible consequences if ignored. On vehicles with 6 speed direct shift gearbox (DSG) of a certain production period a wrong interpretation of the clutch temperature by the gearbox control unit is possible, which indicates an overloading of the clutch. As a the result the clutch protection is activated (flashing gear display, juddering of vehicle, reduction of engine torque, opening of clutch). The vehicle can be used till it is checked/repaired. A faulty sensor normally leads to juddering and flashing of the gear display. There is no danger for the consumers. Remedial Action The affected vehicle receive an updated gearbox software.

Covered models are the Volkswagen R32, Jetta, Jetta SportWagen, GTI, Eos, as well as Audi A3 and TT. Some customers have reported transmission performance issues under certain driving conditions.

The company will extend its New Vehicle Limited Warranty to cover the DSG(® )transmissions affected by the customer service program and the voluntary safety recall.

А где живой отклик представительства Ауди в России или Фольксваген Груп Рус? я тоже хочу такую гарантию!
Правильно говорит АМР, такие подарки - только для людей первого сорта, то бишь пиндосов, а нам достаются объедки...
