My 9 month old MK6 1.4Tsi 122 Golf with the 7 speed DSG box (DQ200?) started acting up a few months ago. I began noticing an odd judder when moving from 1st to 2nd gear, and then 2nd to 3rd gear whilst in full auto mode. I mentioned this when it went for its first service last week and VW decided to remove the gearbox and found one of the clutch packs was faulty and are now replacing both clutch packs.

Has anyone else had this issue and if so, is this something that is likely to bugger up again? The car has only covered 9300 miles and whilst I have heard of problems with the older DSG boxes I am starting to think that the new dry clutch packs could be the reason behind them messing up so quickly in the newer cars.
