1.6 diesel 7 speed dsg

Generally ok except new ERG and now at 77000 miles dsg gearbox failure.

The car suits us for the upright seating and auto gearbox as recommended for my wife. I had the ERG give warnings and had to have it replaced at probably 50000 miles. Then I had the emissions software modification which did not seem to change the cars drivability as far as I could judge.
At 77000 miles after driving fine I came to park and there was no reverse drive. Then found only D1 selectable.
So far the mechatronics unit has been repaired and the repaired has found that a magnet has dropped off in the gearbox. Note the magnet is assumed to trigger a sensor and damaged the mechatronics unit when it came off.
VW do not supply spare parts.

Repair costs climbing away and 3 weeks off the road so far.

DO I WISH EVERYTHING IS RELIABLE AS A VOLKSWAGEN?
