DSG throttle click?

[Black9]

Unlike my Manual GTI my DSG car has a click at the very bottom of the throttle travel.

When accelerating flat out in M mode to people floor it right thru the click or just above.

Does it make any acceleration difference & it it aimed at more S and D mode for the gearbox kickdown?

The click is the microswitch for kickdown IIRC  so if in M it is irrelevant as it will hold the gear until the limiter. WOT will have been reached anyone so not much difference. As you say, it is there for kickdown in D/S modes.

I don't and I don't believe the OP does either. It's an 'oh sh*t give me warp drive I'm gonna die' when you happen to be ambling along in M.

Change gear and rev to 6799RPM... then change gear again. Used to really bug me...

So it's basically to Make sure u are in the ideal gear for flat acceleration

Btw what is WOT

[rich83]

Wide open throttle (i.e. 100% throttle)

Thanks for clearing that up
