DSG Paddleshift's, ever use them?

[FroGTI]

The road from Pickering to Whitby across the Moors is an ideal run for the GTI with plenty of straights and some tricky bends too.

+1. I used to love that road when I lived in Yorkshire. Haven't been back in a long while, though. I'd love to give it a go in the GTI

Does anyone with a DSG actually ever use the paddleshifts regularly? In thinking I was the next ‘Lewis Hamilton’, I had a little play with the paddleshifts this morning on the way in to work. Good fun, but to be honest it’s the first time I've ever really used them.




 

Always in manual, always use my extended Carbon fibre paddleshifters

How very strange paddling on tarmac.

I love it in my standard manual GTI, so for a remapped car using the paddles = awesome

Eh? You've lost me well and truly. Explain yourself right now.

PS: Got it. DOH. I thought you liked paddling inside your GTi!

Mine's a manual as I dislike automatics.

If I had one though I'd probably use the paddles and gear lever shift a lot for the first 6 months or so.


Then leave it in auto.

Do you use your stick to control the dogs whilst they are rounding the sheep?

Saint Steve, I'm liking the sound of 'extended carbon fibre paddleshifters'...... more information required please!
Thanks MAW73

Use them all the time as well, don't really like the auto modes, except when stuck in traffic.

I used them that much on the MK5 that I had to get one replaced under warranty as the rubber coating had worn off 

I have a MK5 GTI that is nearly 5 years old now, and the rubber coating on my paddle sifts has started to wear off. I brought the car from a main dealer in November and it came with the extended warranty, do you think they will replace mine under the warranty?
