Hey, how are you getting on with your "tests"?  :wink:

I've been rooting through my bookmarks and found a VW Technical Service Bulletin for the DSG box - hope it's some more help and info for you:

Keep us all up to date  :smiley:

Ok, had a quick read - On page 3 it says under the 'Cause' column, "that the reason for multiple declutching  to reach the synchronization speed of the engine for the selected gear as quickly as possible. To achieve this multiple declutching is activated until the sychronization speed is reached. During this process the car does not accelerate."

I would therefore deduce that mine is working incorrectly?

I will print off this info and take it in with me tuesday. Many thanks for the help

Maybe - perhaps you are being oversensitive  :cool:, but in your first post you describe a "surge".  Mine definately does not surge, but you can get the car to sort of "pause", while the DSG box re-arranges the cogs.  This usually happens in the circumstances outlined in my earlier post regarding "confusing" the box.  Any pause is always less than or around a second, but it is noticeable, when you compare it to the 'boxes normal changes at lightning speed - it sort of leaves you without any drive, as though coasting, for a second or less.  You get used to it, and anticipate when to use the manual paddles, and when to allow the kick-down to do it all for you :wink: :laugh: :drool:.  There is never any surging or blatant holding back - as though somone had touched the brakes!

Do you know the build date of your car?  It may have an old DSG ECU map, which may have subsequently been re-written.  What is the 10th digit of your VIN?  :nerd:

No worries, and good luck.

PS, I like the new sig pics - UK or overseas???

Cheers for getting back. My VIN has 7 as the 10th digit

Not sure about the build date, delivery inspection was carried out on 12/10/06 (may give a clue) (if the 10th digit is 7, does that mean its an 07 build?)


Ref the sig pics, i live in Germany as i am in the Army for me sins! We had snow the other day so ws out having some fun - thought the pics would make a change

Cheers for getting back. My VIN is removed.

Ohh - if I were you, I'd edit out your VIN, or at least blank out with ****** the last six (I'd also blank out your reg no too).  You never know if ringers or car theifs surf these boards!  :sad:  :angry:

It is a 2007 model year.  You should have silver knobs on your radio, and a few other tweaks to the general specification.  You should really have an uptodate ECU map for the DSG - won't hurt to ask the dealer for any later revisions though.  :wink:

Ahh, never got to Germany as a Crab, I only managed Sardinia and Denmark.  I might PM you regarding a trip I plan, for east Germany & Poland, when my new RS4 turns up.  :wink:

Cheers as always for the advice, jone!

The RS4 is a lovely motor, was toying with that against the R32, but the cost was a tad more! RS6, well, thats for when i win the lottery!!

Many thanks, and Ill keep you updated.
