I have started this new thread about the DSG7 0AM here in MK6 because my contributions to the original thread at MK5 diverged into discussing a MK6 gearbox. I know there are lot of DSG threads already, but this one might focus a bit on answering questions by capturing what the DSG7 is actually doing via VagCom.

To get your mind around how it all works here is a drawing of the innards.


With VCDS, I can log lots of parameters slowly, or 1 or 2 parameters quite quickly. Sample rate ranging from ~ 1 per second to ~ 10 per second. So if you have suggestion on what might be worthwhile looking at let me know.

.. and to get the ball rolling here are the two excel logs I have made to date.
1) 4 minute drive in "D" with the TSI118 DSG7 reversing, stopping and starting several times and going through all 7 forward gears. DSG7 Drive Log.xls
2) Crawling along at idle on a flat road, Starting and stopping 3 times using different Gear Selector positions. 6kphStartStop3Times.xls

I can tell you, trying to understand how this thing works is a great way to fry your brain.

PS. when I labelled the drawing above I was gunna switch all the Gear Numbers to confuse the hell out of everyone but I decided against it
