VW Recalling 384,000 Cars in China for Faulty DSG Transmissions 

They have also extended the warranty to 10 years just as they did in the USA. I wounder if they will extend the warranty in the UK/EU?

"
In the statement, Volkswagen admitted that "in isolated cases, an electronic malfunction in the control unit or a lack of oil pressure inside the gearbox mechatronics may result in a power interruption," stressing that steering and braking are not affected. The recall includes vehicles equipped with seven-speed direct-shift gearboxes.

The action may prove to be an expensive one for the German automaker, with LMC Automotive estimating replacements to cost between 3,000 yuan ($483) to 10,000 yuan ($1,610) per vehicle. That would bring the total cost of the recall to $618 million in the best-case scenario.

In May 2012, VW agreed to extend the warranty for its double-clutch gearboxes from 2 to 10 years, following investigations from China’s quality inspector related to faulty gearboxes."

I would not hold your breath, China is likely more important than the Uk for future sales as a huge market opens.
