Hi I would consider the rain bit is probably coincidental, either way the only way to find out definitively is to get the car plugged in and get the fault codes read, my money as a pure guess would be on the gearbox needing a service, this is subject to a distant conversation I had with a mechanic I use who is very knowledgable and he suggested the DSG boxes are not suitable for a cab as due to the required service frequency times my annual milage would equate to more expense which is why I bought a manual the gearbox oil gets changed once a year and no filters etc are required.
