Just saw this in Honest John and wondered if it affected Skoda DSG.

Unless I missed it, the article doesn't say what year and what DSG box

That TSB relates to the 7 speed box.

I had mine done recently.

So, that's one non-existent problem "fixxed".

But the real fault code throwing problem remains unfixed/unfixable,

sigh.

This is the best I could find after a quick Google, though it's not very specific:

 

Defect Description: Consequence:Volkswagen Group of America, Inc (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Jetta Hybrid vehicles manufactured October 2012 through October 2013 and equipped with a DQ-200 direct-shift gearbox. Due to gearbox fluid additives, the control module within the gearbox may corrode. The deposits from this corrosion may cause an electrical short and result in a stall-like condition.

This sudden loss of power while driving increases the risk of a crash.

Action:

Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will replace the gearbox oil with a non-corrosive version, free of charge. The recall began on December 6, 2013. Owners may contact Volkswagen at 1-800-893-5298. Volkswagen's recall number is 34F6/4V.
