I plan to sell my DSG Golf prior to it running out of warranty due to the excessive cost of a DSG box failure. Fantastic box, head and shoulders above anything I've ever owned but the replacement price scares the crap out of me on failure. If there's an offer to extend the warranty for another 3 years, perhaps that could be an option...?

My VW dealer mentioned they can offer an extended warranty underwritten by a major insurer when I was last there.
