DSG Problem

[illyun]

I remember a few of you guys lucky and intelligent to have DSG ( ) had some teething problems with the box. One of the issues was the kangeroo jump effect when moving off and at very low speed < 10mph.  The problem has got worse on mine so its going into the dealers on Monday. 

The Master Tech who looked at it a week ago when I booked it in said he had seen this issue before and it required a software update - but wanted to keep it for 2 days    The thing is I am sure some of you with a similar problem had some of the DSG ancillary mechanicals replaced so I am wondering whether it really is just a software issue.  Also, the problem seems to get worse the longer the car has been driven (i.e. when it is warmed up).  In warmer weather it is more noticeable - or that might just be me imagining things.  Also, it seems to be more pronounced when moving off on an uphill gradient.  I suppose I'll know if the Tech is right (or talking out of his backside) after I collect the car on Wednesday/Thursday.  I'm going to make sure its got 30 miles of fuel left in the tank so they don't cane the poor thing while its in their hands

I have never had this on my ED30 DSG fortunately but a MK2 TT S-tronic I had on hire earlier this early had this undocumented "feature" and it made it horrible to drive in slow traffic.

As I only had it on hire for just over a week I didn't worry about it and unsurprisingly Hertz weren't bothered either when I return it 

Hope you get it all sorted without any grief.

When I had my AUDI A3 TDI DSG it had a problem with uneven idle, stalling and a kangaroo effect (almost like a learner driver does in a manual before they've gained control of the clutch) at low speed. It turned out to be a faulty controller unit for the DSG and was replaced under warranty. When I searched on't internet I found others who had similar issues, but not always stalling. Maybe this is where the fault lies with yours Illyun?

Thanks for the quick replies guys... I suspect it might be that Hurdy which is why I wanted confirmation.  It will give me something to suggest when I drop off the car.  Can we hold a group prayer session that my car comes back unscratched and with no extras like a dent    I reckon it will need a miracle to come back from the stealers unscathed

I've taken mines in twice for this ! it happens worse in reverse, almost like a chugging , and the dealers saying there is nothing wrong with it, but they have made it worse.

What is the actual problem, just software or hardware ?

They are going to get it on Monday

Every single one of us hope your pride and joy comes back unscathed.

ive not had the kangeroo effect, but the one thing ive complained off since havin Phylis, compared to the other 2 GTi's, is that it wants to do

4-5 mph just by releasing the foot brake!. The other GTi's were never as fierce.

Mine's exactly the same - it happens in reverse too...

That was quick... are Phil and Hurdy (the Mods) leading?
