Reverse gear in DSG

[Tuan]

Doesn't happen, but it's not the gear change itself, it's like it's slipping momentarily midway between 3rd & 4th.
And ONLY if I put the boot in a bit after it's gone into 3rd........

So it's not like it's lagging at low revs in 4th, it's well before it even gets to 4th.

PS: Sorry to hijack OP thread.... happy to start a fresh one if necessary.

Man I've got nothing then ... sorry !

Is your car tuned?

Thanks for the tips. So in theory, is it better to drive the car in manual mode (i.e the driver does all the thinking/controlling instead of the car trying to predict the next move)?

Nope - otherwise you may as well just buy a manual.

There are specific "better" ways to drive the car to avoid possible hesitations or jerkiness..... but if you want to drive it like an automatic, there are also things you need to NOT do.
