Mk7 Golf TSI & TDI - Observations and Questions

[GippsCC]

Hi all,

My 103 TSI is now one month old and I've put about 2700kms on it and so far so good.

Glad you're enjoying the new ride. I'm finding myself turning off the stop-start system as well (in my CC - I doubt its saving me much fuel anyway). When the stop-start is on (when I forget to switch it off), I do what you do - lift my foot of the brake just before traffic moves/lights change as otherwise the lag is annoying.

Re: DSG, its only a slight lag from standing start (and occasionally a bit lumpy in changing into second when pushing hard from standing start) - you get used to it fairly quickly, and easily avoid it by giving it a little build in acceleration before pushing through. Sounds like Sports mode is even better in MkVII, nice

The best thing about the DSG is that - believe it or not - it's more efficient than a manual, helping fuel efficiency.

The 2013 CC still has the RNS510 but I'm glad you shared your thoughts on the Discover Media. Only thing I miss from the Golf is a mute button on steering wheel.
