I think as long as you are not red lining constantly you will be fine  :grin:


I thought the game was to get the needle to bounce off the red line!! ..... no? :undecided:

Most annoying thing about DSG, Even in manual mode it wont let you do this, just upshifts

I am guessing to protect your turbo, red lining is bad  :grin:

I don't see how that is annoying, bouncing off the redline doesn't do anything part from push stress in the engine, the power has tailed off by then and you'll be going slower so what's the point?

No point at all in your own car, but a must in hire/courtesy cars, along with perfecting your clutchless gear changes.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Haha YES, I get a lot of hire cars and I always attempt to perfect my clutchless gear changes.  :grin:
