Does anyone know how I can check what model the DSG box is in my MY13 GTI? I'm assuming its DQ500

Have to say, having been burned before I swore I would never buy a VW or Audi again. I had a 2008 Golf TDI Pacific in which I eventually had the full gearbox and mechatronics unit replaced under warranty. I also had an A5 Sportback Quattro which showed signs of 'something not right' with the Multitronic.

However, after all this, I still went and got a GTI. One drive and I could see they got the new DSG sorted. If you understand that the DSG is a complex piece of tech and learn how to get the most out of it (especially in M mode), it's one hell of a fine and fun gearbox!

PS. I am glad they extended the DSG warranty to 5 years though
