A DSG automatic is way different from ordinary automatics and CVTs; it is essentially a double manual gearbox with automated clutches and gear selection; alternating sides and load for the uneven and even gear numbers. I'd be amazed if that would have any issues a manual would not have. Then again, I'm no expert.

Maybe better to play it safe and install an auxiliary oil pump for the transmission for long EOC coasts Engine on coasting should be fine no matter what.
