Work out under what conditions it's easiest to replicate so that you can demonstrate the faults to the service tech who will hop in the passenger seat and go for a quick drive with you to confirm the fault when you visit the dealer.

Just a question, if this is normal or not:
when, for example pulling out of a carspot, and you go from P > D, or P > R, if not completely stationary, ie: slightly rolling, does the car shudder\splutter into gear ?
Im not sure if its a gearbox issue, or just how the dsg is, but i need to completely stop, engage either D or R, wait a second, and then start moving, if im in say N and just put it into D without braking, it will shudder into gear
Had my dealer look at the car today as part of the 45,000km service. Root cause was a clutch pack requiring replacement which came up during the diagnostics. Getting it replaced next Thursday! :)
Has anyone with a Golf R or GTI notice there car bounce off the limiter before it changes to the next gear when WOT?
Is this normal? I've notice this happen a few times in my R when in D and going from 1st to 2nd. Does the DSG tune help with this?
Mine jumps straight into the next gear
Should not happen - get the workshop to investigate
I have heard of this issue happening with some cars, particularly those that are tuned.Quote:

Sounds like a recipe for traction control intervention.
Try turning traction control off and trying it again. Sounds like it's kicking in.Quote:
