7spd DSG - rev matching/auto blip on downshift??
« on: 29 December 2020, 18:47 »
I'm 5 months into my first DSG box car (a Mk 7.5 GTI PP 245) after having >20 yrs of driving manuals, in which I could happily rev match myself on downshifts as desired.

My question is - does eveyone else get auto blips/rev matching from their DSG box on downshifting??  I don't/can't seem to at all (even with the box in 'S').  Yet I seem to see more and more YT vid clips of GTI's, S3 etc with DSG/S Tronic seeming to auto blip on downshift??

As said above, switch to manual mode and use the paddles, it will match the revs for you on downshift.
