Great, another instance of VW working hard to NOT honor warranties.

What is their justification in refusing to service Redline-lubed trannies?  I'd bet that the 
Redline people would be VERY interested to hear this, and would likely take the matter 
very seriously and contact VW immediately.  Would you mind if I forward your message 
to them??  Maybe we can get some action!!  This is bullshit.
