Ours is one of the launch stock for the face lifted model, bought in June 2010. I got an extended warranty through my lease company for about $1,000 which sounds about the same as the ones you've been talking about in that it has a limit on the market value of the vehicle for total repair costs.

I've not had an issue with the DSG and we are a shade over 90,000km but have had a couple of things fixed under warrantying including what I think was the EGR valve. Mostly it's been pretty trouble free and the couple of fixes have been done without hassle.
