I'm thinking of a remap for the DSG box in my wifes 2019 7.5 performance dsg.

The gearbox seems to be absolutely pants compared to my Cayman GTS with PDK. It's slow to wake up, and when it does it seems to be pretty dopey, coming out of roundabouts in a high gear, taking what seems like an age to drop gears. Often when it does respond it goes from 5th to 2nd which just upsets the chassis.

I realise my Cayman is a different animal but they are so far apart even thoughthey are basically software led,Is there any remap to help the situation? Even in manual mode it seems a bit of a gormless box and spoils the car. My old 7.5 R manual was much more fun - well once the clutch was changed to a Helix. The Cayman DSG is just a joy to use as it's so well set up.

Another one flying through it's MOT without any advisories.
The car is 9 years old at the end of the month, having just passed 18k miles... I think I will hang on to it a little longer.

And drive it more?

Its the same on the Mk8.

Hi all,

Back in a golf and a lovely gti 8.5.   Only had it a few days so still getting used to the tech etc.

One thing I did notice whilst driving it back home yesterday was the dsg gear numbers only display in sport mode,  but when in "D" mode its just the letter and no number gear? Does anyone know if this is normal and a new thing on the golf please?
