Is this normal?
Hey All
Have never driven a car with dsg before so not really sure how a dsg gearbox works...
When I'm driving in "D" mode, the screen on the dash shows D1..D2...D3...D4...D5...D6...and then D7 which is obviously normal to me
However, while in D7, if I switch the mode to "S", is it normal for the gear to drop to S4??! And if so, when I change up a gear clicking "+" on the paddle shift, the gear changes to 5 (not S5) and then 6 (not S6)..etc
Shouldn't it show s5...s6...s7 on the screen and not just 5...6....7?
Also if I stop the car at the lights and switch to the "S" mode on the dsg...it first shows S1...but then instead of showing s2...s3...etc when I change gears, it just shows a single number 2...3....4...5...and then 6.
Finally, I could be in "6th" gear in "S" mode and if I click "-" on the paddle shift, it suddenly jumps from 6 to S2 and the revs immediately jumps over 5,000rpms!!!! I would expect that if it was in 6th gear, it would just drop a single to 5th and not skip 3 gears to 2nd gear!
Really not sure if this is all normal or not or is this yet another problem with my car with only 300kms on the clock?? There is no problems at all when I drive in "D" mode...just in "S" mode.
Thanks in advance
Scott
