Do you actually use the DSG, or is it always in automatic mode?

The amount of lubrication used.

Wet DSG is an older/more reliable system that is rated to handle more power/torque.
Wet DSG requires an expensive oil change every 60,000km ($1200+)

Dry DSG is newer tech which some early adopters found had some issues
Is rated to only handle 240nm of torque but many have exceeded this (APR, etc) without issue
Doesn't need the expensive oil change since it's "dry"

Cheers logger (long time no see).

I assume you're referring to the steps in this thread - have you done this yourself before?

Was just passing by and stuck my head in.
No there is a much quicker and simpler way to reset the clutch adaptations only.While not resetting the rest of the DSG. Essentially all you need to do is apply basic settings to the appropriate field.. Have done this numerous times myself into the past.

Will look it up in my notes and get back to you.

Just dug it out of my personalised OAM label file... Apply Basic settings to MB 180 or 200. this is where the adaptation counts for the clutches live (180=k1 200=k2) Flushing either will flush the other clutch well. So does no matter which one you do. Then see how your K2 clutch behaves after you have given it time to re-adapt. You will see the counts grow from zero over time. No need to do the test drive stuff as the car will do it automatically as each criteria is met. Although you can drive some of it if you wish to speed the "learning".

Any luck finding those notes?

Cheers.

I drive mine in manual mode all the time. Hardly ever use automatic mode.......

Yeah. Re-read my orignal post (the one before yours). I edited it an appended the last paragraph a couple of days ago, which explains how to do it.

Thanks mate. By "apply basic settings" am I just clicking a button in that section of VCDS or am I entering a value (perhaps 0)? I've not used that part of VCDS before due to the increased amount of damage that *can* be done by messing around in there without a clue (according to the RossTech user guide).

In VCDS go to your Auto Trans controller > basic settings > enter 200 in Group field > press the GO button > That’s it.

Then close the basic settings window and adaptation counts for both clutches will be reset to Zero. As mentioned from experience I have noticed flushing either 180(k1) or 200(k2) will have the same effect. But be careful not to enter any other number in the Group field or you are on your own

Thanks, will try it out on Wednesday probably. Not sure if necessary but will play it safe and ensure the DSG Oil Temp is north of 60 degrees.

Went for a quick drive this morning to warm the car up, then the clutch adaption reset trick, before driving to work. It didn't fix the problem, and the return trip this evening was very jerky.

So I pulled into a quiet street close to home just before, and tried the full DSG reset trick. I didn't receive the expected output numbers, but noticed an improvement (haven't had a chance to apply power in 4th or 6th gear to test yet though - will find out tomorrow).
