Towing with DSG?
So I'm looking at adding a trailer hitch to my jetta to tow a small pop up trailer. trailer is approx 900lbs
Some people are saying these can tow up to 2,000lbs. however the user manual says no towing with the diesel and DSG. but the gas models can tow.
here shows the golf version of the TDI towing with a DSG.

is there a spot on the DSG to add a temp sensor? I know the computer reads it as there is a warning light for it. but there is not a standard OBD2 PID to read with my bluetooth to OBD adapter.
I would imagine I would have to decrease the time between service intervals to keep the DSG happy.
I would be towing up to ~6-7% grades (5.5 miles) from to get to the mountains. Other areas would be ~3%
