DSG Reset - New owner
« on: September 30, 2014, 04:50:19 pm »
Hi all,

I know DSG learns how the driver drives, does it re-learn when a new owner starts driving the car or is a DSG reset recommended?

Cheers

Iv heard theres a way to reset using ignition?
Does this work, and if so, how do you do it?
and is it ok to do it with a dag map? Will it affect the map?

It relearns. Drive it hard for a little and you will notice the difference.

Cheers guys, so the best bet is to drive it hard for a while and it will Adspt to the way a drive? So is there no benefit to a reset?

Cheers

You can do a reset by sitting in the car, key in your hand - floor the accelerator all the way and hold it there. Put the key in and turn it so that the lights come on the dash and keep your foot down for at least 30 seconds.

It will then go back to 'default' and learn your driving style.

That's all - done it on mine, a MK6 and a 13 plate A3. I don't know if it's a full reset like one done with VCDS but it totally changed mine. Cured the jerky reverse and first gear.

If your changing down i doubt its anything to do with the dsg learning. Having never driven an auto let alone a dsg it was strange at first. Are you driving in manual mode/D or S.

Excellent, thank you, I will give that a go  :smiley:

Well worth the read, gives drivers new to DSG a much better understanding of the box and how to use it.

Cheers  :happy2:

Does anyone know if this reset could clear a DSG remap? Cheers.
