Not had this GTi long, 05 plate, 75k miles, all serviced through VW. Notice when going into reverse it doesn't seem to "bite" straight away and can sometimes jolt back, is this a sign the DSG clutch is on its way out?

Only owned a 15 plate A3 S-tronic before, so not sure how long these clutches are meant to last etc?

MarkyN:
I wouldn't say so mate. Mine first done this when I bought it. I found out that the DSG box gets used to how the person drives it.
I have mine reset on VAGCOM and was a little bit jerky to start but after a few miles of me driving it the way I wanted to it started to smoothen out.

I got told this was the best thing to do aswell as a service on the box when I first got it by a VW specialist

Mine was exactly the same when i bought it - full DSG reset via Vagcom, new fluid & filters and its silky smooth. Tried a work coleagues car recently and his is jerky as hell! He has to put the car in neutral first before putting it in reverse - that seems to smooth his out a little, but he has no idea what Vagcom is!

glasgowdubber:
Appreciate the replies guys, that's put my mind at ease! It is due for its DSG oil change, and also due a full service, I'll maybe see if someone can do the DSG reset then while I'm getting this done. Didn't even know that was possible!

Lyons:
Tell me more about this DSG reset. We just got a CC and would like to do the reset on it.
