V6 4Motion CC has poor throttle response - any known solutions??

[Elmura]

Interesting review 3C4M. Thanks. For me, I'm happy to control the box manually or override it in auto when entering or exiting roundabouts / corners. Though the lifting of the torque limit and the faster shifts has me interested for allowing modified grunt.

ah, ok, saw that CC on carsales, Congrates on the purchase!
but you can not compare standard R36 with modified CC...
btw, the LED DRLs does not cost $1000 as the previous owner claimed

I don't recall him stating the DRLs are $1k, they're around $200 + install. Why can't I compare the R36 with a BWS 4Motion CC ??? I have both and each has its merits. It's not an apples and oranges comparison. They have the same engine, driveline, brake rotors, wheel size, tyre size, similar weight, wheel base, track. They share heaps. For me, the CC softer tuned suspension & quiet exhaust need modding to suit my preferences of sports driving. The Eibach springs help a little (they're very comfy for lowered springs) and forthcoming Whiteline sway bars will round it out. An exhaust mod is on the cards as well (I'll update when that's done).

I purchased a VAG-COM cable and VCDS software (full Hex Can function) to tweak my car and customers cars in the South West of Sydney. My initial complaints of poor throttle response and hesitant acceleration from stand-still have been mostly resolved. Compared to the soft DSG reset suggested by Umai Naa!! , VCDS adaptation did a much better job with DSG and throttle.
If I didn't have the R36, I would probably think it's a design flaw.

Still, the R36 has still greater part throttle street driving responsiveness which I've come to figure out as being due to the shorter gearing. In the R36 at 100kph, the RPMs are around 2400rpm by memory; the CC at same speed is around 2000rpm. The BWS V6 3.6L engine produces max torque from 2400rpm and up so it's real responsive at that RPM. To get the same responsiveness in the CC, you need to drop a gear.

How did you tune the DSG with the VAGCOM? Is it complicated? I am not particularly happy with the quirky DSG at low speed and changing between D and R, can this be improved with the cable?

Oh I got a CC V6 too

Thanks.

There's a procedure to it. If you're in Sydney, PM me to get it done along with throttle reset & optionally, intake mods.
Else, contact a local VW specialist. Big improvement; and it improves further over the next few weeks.
