So a while back I mentioned the DSG playing up going from 2nd to 3rd and basically free revving in N. Had the DSG flashed this week.

The paper work says it was done according to TPI #2026959/1, they wouldn't show me the info other than to say it was to resolve my complaint. I'm trying to get a copy of it from other sources unless someone here has it already. But I did see that it covered just about anything with a DSG. Old kent wouldn't let me see much else.

See how it goes from here.

Thanks for coming back to follow up and provide the TPI for us dave_r. If you can get your hands on a copy of the TPI, let us know! Cheers.

i'm not sure if this has been said before, but i noticed something while driving today.

off the line, the DSG is hesitant for some and not others. mine seems to have its days but then i noticed my driving habits vary (strange but true) and thought it might play a role in this. so what i noticed was, if i'm gentle on the brakes at the light, pressing just enough to stop the car from creeping and not more, the take off is extremely smooth and happens instantly.

my hypothesis is that there is a point where the clutch engages even when the brakes are applied. this is based on the idea that the clutch disengages when you're at the light and have your foot firmly on the brakes, some claim this is so, others believe otherwise.
