"it tends to overheat"

I'm in Scotland, so it rarely gets above 20C and it quite often fairly damp - which presumably keeps the gearbox nice and cool :-)

Edit: We also very rarely sit in traffic, which might help as well.

Still, other gearboxes work well here. So maybe there's a design fault somewhere.

There's a Wikipedia entry for DSG problems: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct-shift_gearbox#Problem...

I'm now a complete convert to DSG style gearboxes. Mind you next car will hopefully be electric so problem goes away - probably an Enyaq.
