DSG woes in The Age

[kaanage]

I haven't had any major issues with my Golf yet. I have a 2007 Golf 2.0 TDi with DSG.

the vehicle has performed perfectly.

I am concerned about any possible issues of engine shutdown while driving but after 300,000 kms I have seen any problems.

Your car has the 103kW PD engine and the 6 speed wet clutch DSG so it's not one of the drivetrain types that is experiencing the failure types discussed here - just like OzVWCrap who had problems caused by the original dealer but who's car has been otherwise fine (although VW seem to have treated him in a disgraceful manner leading to his overall disgruntlement).

I really wish they would fully specify the model in these news stories so that we could properly gauge the relevance to our particular vehicles but I guess thorough reporting in newspapers is too much to expect

BTW Many people would envy your 300,000km of trouble free motoring

Kaanage, That's good to know and you are right, there should be some clarification on which models, configurations have the issues.
