DSG Question

[c0ldaussie]

I have noticed that also say i'm heading down a hill at 60 i'm braking to hold it there, drops it into 4th/3rd by the time i hit the flat it's revving quite 'high' (well above 4K). Seemed strange to me but I don't think its an issue really, would be nice for VW to give you a little lesson in DSG behaviour.

That's just engine braking, it saves fuel and your brake pads. Most well made auto's (and manual drivers) do it as part of the hill detection system (ie. they'll also kick down when you're going up the hill too).

When I drive my mums old commodore it annoys me no end that it doesn't kick down and I'm suddenly flying down the hill

Agree with reader0r.

This is the first 'automatic' car I've owned that is intelligent enough to do this. Smart machine.
