Just an update on this, had the DSG oil and filter service done today, literally a different car. I'm almost certain the diverter valve is needing replaced, but it's genuinely 100 times better than it was, so much smoother.
r5gtt:
Ah that's excellent news. get your DV checked as it's a known failure point losing boost and I think mine has gone too but no time to check it as get home from work too late and weekends are awfully wet.
Maybe this weekend.
GTI8v:
Just to add to this that I agree that the DSG seems to adapt to how you drive it.
When I first got mine it seemed to be forever wanting to change down on a dual carriageway at the slightest prod of the accelerator, got quite annoying really.
Now it's happy to pull in 6th unless I really give the pedal a good press.

That is on my list of things to do, I spent an hour last night going through all the receipts from the previous owner, it's definitely never been done, however the other problem valve has been just back in September which is good news.
Theres a definite lack of boost on the car, makes a lot of noise, but doesn't really seem to go.

I have many things on my to do list but no time or daylight hours to do them.
Yes definitely check the dv as this is the weakest link with our cars.
You're lucky you have many receipts as I had one from the crook trader who sold me the car saying yes they have receipts and I'll get copies which I had to fight for over a month to get. wish someone :slap: them for me.
noise?. whooshing, fluttering?
