DSG - regrets I've had a few...

[Ginge 35Edition]

I'm with Raffe I'm wanting to try the DSG in he mk7 to be able to make an informed decision. Just out of interest does the gear changing adjust to your driving style? I've noticed that when I first got my edi35 the change display would tell me to be up and down the gears like whores draws, but now, as I drive quite steady and get into 6th ASAP it seems quite happy?

Hurry - for the benefit of all potential DSG owners how much is a DSG map?

Only reason I avoided the DSG was the feedback from a friend who was a service manager for an Audi dealership and who has put the fear of god in me over costs and problems these boxes can generate through their life time.

Possibly no where near as bad as I imagine albeit in the time I have been here there have been a few expensive issues, which if the car was out of warranty would not be well received by my wallet.

One of the reasons I chose DSG was because of the crap juddering manual clutch I had in my MK5. I wonder will that issue be sorted with the MK7

Good idea - I must have a chat with my mate in the local VW service department.

I like my DSG about 70% of the time.  I won't be getting another DSG but then come to think of it I won't be getting another GTI....

can we not discuss interior rattles instead?

Can you not select S then, blip the paddles down to the suggested overtaking gear and floor it. It then takes car of the gearchanges whilst overtaking then just select D and it will go all the way back up to 6? I would hope thats what it would do.

maybe you could start a thread how too explaining how we can fix them. Would be a great addition to the forum.

Helpful comment. Thankyou!

To the OP. get the DSG mapped. It makes the manual mode a true manual, removes the kick down and won't gear up unless you ask for it.

It is disappointing that some people feel the need to reply to this thread when they have nothing worthwile to contribute! Such is internet forums I guess

You for real?

You said you wanted more control when overtaking, I gave you an option. What's not contributing?

I'm changing my DSG map as now I am stage 2+ the torque is still limited on the custom code map with Revo. Not what I was told and I'm not a happy bunny. I'm awaiting a change to the GIAC map on mine, which is a true stand alone map. The price for the GIAC map is under £400 (awaiting confirmation).

My understanding is that the fwd DSG map is slightly different and some should be okay with the Revo DSG map.

The DSG map also increases the clamping pressure on the DSG clutch packs, which will stop any hint of clutch slip with a mapped car.
