Why has the DSG gearbox in my Volkswagen Golf failed?
The DSG gearbox in my Volkswagen Golf recently packed up. Is this a usual thing to happen in a 6 year old car?

Comfortable and quiet on the move, enjoyable to drive. Nicely trimmed with great attention to detail. 1.4 TSI sweeter to drive than a diesel.
