DQ250 vs DQ380

[mp2811]

I've driven my 7R both stock and with DSG tune and also both 6sp in a S3 and now FL S3 with 7sp and in stock forms I would say that the DQ381 is far superior, especially in dynamic/sports mode it's close to as good as my tuned 6sp. Stock 6sp in race mode was useless as we all know, never wanted to ever get out of 2nd gear.

Normal modes both 6sp and 7sp change gears slightly too fast for my liking but I can understand it's for fuel efficiency and it's more than adequate for cruising along in traffic.

So the R went into the Dealership today, they said they found nothing obvious but are going to recalibrate the system....
The service team are excellent so hopefully it dose need just that
Picking up in a hour, so I’ll report back then.
I really hope it dose just need a calibration, but who know.
All I know is the TDI is an amazing car.

Hi Alex,

Just wondering if this got resolved and what did the dealership do to fix it.

I am experiencing the same, hence the question.
