I glad I have a tiptronic! However,our Golf has run for two years without any problems with the DSG gearbox.

You may well be right. I guess the prob with the RMS is a bad detail(or to give them a benefit of the doubt a difficult detail).

I was only really using it as an example of a component that as a rule wears out, rather than suddenly failing. where it is suddenly failing, that is more likely due to mis-installation.

Agreed - It's certainly not always wear and tear. Had it replaced and the replacement failed a couple of months or so later.

I think you are both missing my point. If you look at the original post, I was trying to state that an early doors failure on the pdk was unlikely to be indicitave of a fundamental design issue.
