What 'issues' were you having?

Issues were, up-shift in D mode on the DSG from 1st to 2nd when pottling around was less than smooth with higher revs the issue didnt exist but natural chnage point on the DSG was between 1700 and 2100.  All other gears shifted smoothly like you would expect from DSG. 

Other issue that has improved since changing is when on lift off coasting up to a roundabout or junction followed by moderate acceleration I used to have no power before a sudden surge, even if the kickdown engaged and dropped a single cog (so on the seperate shaft) there was hesitation followed by a sudden surge.  coasting off the throttle now seems to engage less engine breaking and on re-applying throttle the car picks up smoothly and quickly.  Car is just so much better to drive.

Im not 100% yet but it seems to be using less petrol for similar driving bearing in mind it now wants to pull so much more that I have occasionally been taking advantage of it  :grin:

^^^ this is exactly what I'm experiencing. However, having owned an automatic car I thought this was normal. I'm tempted to change my dv and see if it is any differant. Unless it could be something else?
