Reverse gear in DSG

[Spinifex]

It's Mk3 RS 6sp DSG wet clutch type, so unlikely to be the common 7sp clutch issue

i get my mates to watch this video whos new to DSG.
granted its a 7spd dry clutch, but principles are the same.

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.
