Ex-lease Octavias - things to watch out for?

I was speaking to a random bloke at the motorshow that claimed that most of the DSG problems stem from incorrect oil being used in the DSG boxes. Interesting take, but he could have just been a VW plant

Incorrect oil as a factory fill?

From what I was told regarding the 7sp is the clutch packs were at fault and the gap between 1st and 2nd as well. New uprated clutch packs and 1mm shims pack in for 1st to 2nd gap 'should' solve the issues. It's only been a day but the difference after getting above done is night and day.
