    This is correct,

    "9. the failure of any part which is caused by:a. any part which was not made or supplied by the manufacturer of your vehicle; or
    b. any modification to your vehicle which altered its specification from the
    manufacturer’s original specification, including but not limited to any change over to
    LPG (liquid petroleum gas), turbo-charging or a change in piston size. "
    (VW Australia New Car warranty, sitting in the "When we will not pay for you claim")

    don't get me wrong VW will understandably push hard to show that ANY fault related to the engine management system or engine itself is as a result of a tune or engine modification, but for issues with unrelated components i.e. suspension and well the DSG in this case etc. there shouldn't be any issue.
    Well that's my understanding of it at least.
