If you have a dsg gearbox it's the kickdown button. on mines its green button under the pedal.  :smiley:

Not sure as it changes down well before then anyway. It must have something to do with the flyby wire system it uses.

In my e46 M3 (smg) there was similar system - going past kick-down dropped the gear to the most performance optimal. So sometimes I could be in 6th gear and on kick-down it would drop to 4th - as opposed to 5th on a gentle press.

I'd assume in principal the golf is the same - but not powerful enough to make the change so dramatic?
