omeydz's Golf MK6 TSI - GTI/R20 Hybrid *DSG converted*
omeydz:
The refurb mechatronics I got has a faulty hydraulic pump and wasn't giving me any gears so I have to return that.
So I fettled the hydraulic fluid levels, recalibrated the actuators and some other measurements with my vernier calipers and by some sheer luck I managed to grab 1st gear but was kangarooing all over the place and throwing clutch errors. So more fettling later and a month off working on the car to recharge and recouperate, 3rd time removing and replacing the mechatronics I was able to perform and complete basic settings and go for a drive and grabbed all gears smoothly. Voila!

Hurray! Finally, you get to enjoy DSG! It's probably tainted for you but what's your thoughts on it so far?
omeydz:
I guess its sort of bittersweet in hindsight but far more sweet than bitter.
It performs remarkably well and very smooth and responsive. DSG fart noises aren't too loud at all unless im going flat out and Iv only done centre resonator delete.
Iv only ever had manual cars so my left foot is a bit confused, especially as I still have a clutch pedal lol . Will get round to removing that soon!
Iv been through all 8 gears ( 7 forward + reverse) which are seamless but in "D" on a steady 35-40mph it reaches 6th and just before 50mph its in 7th. Its like its too eager to reach the highest possible gear .. Sound right? If i give the accelerator a stab it downshifts and takes off just fine or I can obviously select what I want in triptronic or paddles.
