I think it refers to the 7 speed dry clutch DSG which doesn't affect GTI/GTD models.

I wasnt sure what version of dsg box and what desisel engines they were on about.
Theres also vw other poorly designed poor engineered parts that fail. Be it chain tensioner,  DSG mecatronics control unit, turbo, pcv valve, air con unit, water pump, clutch, wheel barrings, or rust issues, etc and there just the ones I remember this minute lol.
From my experience vw dont care about customers and more fool anyone who falls for vws BS quality lines nowadays as there poorly built, poorly designed, cars with touchy feely plastics to keep people who dont know any better happy. But thats just my own personal view.
That second video could not have put it better imho.....

Having had a mk7 for a 2 hour drive the other day (hire car) I dont believe the quality is better than the mk6 I believe its worse.
