DSG performance - Need a Physio?

The issue I have is NOT turbo lag IMO there is a problem with my DSG box. The dealer has confirmed this and I am waiting on a response.

Thanks for the clarification... eagerly awaiting your response.

Thanks, I'd like to know what they say, I reckon mine has the same glitch (very very jerky when starting to move).

This is my first post so hello everyone...We have had our 125kw sedan granite for just over a year and really do love the car except for the turbo lag and whiplash...taking the car in on Friday for its 30k service and will again mention these issues as I did at the 15k service...wish me luck...

Had the car in today for a 30k service and got a golf d as a loan car. After driving the golf around for the day I am convinced that there is something definately wrong with our Passat.

Picked up the car this arvo and said to the service guy that there is something definately wrong. And guess what, they agreed with me:eek:. They have referred it to VW and will be in contact when they know what to do. So will let you know what happens...

Cheers...

Welcome aboard TA. Hope you find lots of useful info here, and it will be good to hear what they do about your problems. I'm a manual gearbox all the way man, so any problems I have are only my lack of feet, hand and brain co-ordination :)

That drives me nuts with the DSG. In auto and sometimes semi-manual when you take a corner and you have to slow a little too much and when you get around and start accelerating, it has a heart attack and needs to drop to 1st with a quite uncomfortable jerk followed by whip lash.

DSG is the way of the future but I think I'd prefer a clutch still.

In manual mode it should never kick down a gear unless you push the accelerator thru the detent near the end of its travel. ie. if you tramp it!

It will also kick down if you slow too much for the selected gear - it is 'idiot proof' after all.

ok gotta ask about the turbo lag in TDI. I find it really annoying/dangerous in the Passat. So is there a fix for this? After driving the Golf TDI where I hardly notice any turbo lag.
