how to confuse a dsg??

(1/4) > >>

dajonic:
Hi everyone,

I've had my gti just under a month and wander if anyone has the same experience? Coming up to a junction or roundabout and easing off the accelerator...check to see if the way forward is clear and then accelerating. The dsg hesitates, then the revs climb significantly before the clutch grips and the car picks up speed. It feels like clutch slip to me but under most other conditions it's not obvious. Any ideas or suggestions greatly appreciated.

In sport mode or changing through the paddles it's not a problem so maybe the kick down function is a bit sensitive??

Thankls again. 

Sunglasses Ron:
Sounds like it is the Kick down function mate. As if it's fine in M and S modes then I doubt it's the clutch.
DSG map will sort that out..  :happy2:

dajonic:
Thanks VTEC ABUSER.

You say a dsg map...is that a dealer option or are there other routes to follow? When I bought the car they gave it an oil sevice but I think it needs a full on proper service so could a remap be included in this?

Thanks again.

bacillus:
The dsg map he's refering to is an after market dsg software that's presently only freely available from Giac.

btw I suspect what you're seeing is normal as the dsg box has problems in this particular area.

Ifti:
With normal driving, in D, M, or S - everything is fine.
But when you floor the pedel to use the kickdown feature I also get some hesitation while it chooses its gear. I think its pretty normal, and as stated above, you'd probably need a DSG remap to sort it.
When you state the revs climb significantly, you'll probably notice thats because its dropped drown 2-3 gears to get the most power from the high rev range.
