You just need someone with vcds. The instructions are in the diy sticky section.
Ive done mine twice in the 1 and half years of owning it. Always makes a difference

Not a fan of doing needless resets. The last time I did mine it made no difference. The DSG constantly learns your driving style, it's fuzzy logic.

The best thing to smoothen uptake of the clutch is to wait for the clutches to bite themselves (if you're not on an incline). Basically, let your foot off the brake and wait for it to creep. If you're on an incline, keep the throttle position constant, don't suddenly back off and then on again. It just confuses the gearbox. Stay consistent so it knows what you want.
The clutches will likely last the lifetime of the car, as they are bathed in oil (less heat = less wear) and user error is virtually removed.

The link is useful and you can help the gearbox by not giving it confusing throttle inputs etc.
however to be clear there is no fuzzy logic and the dsg does not learn your driving style at all.
it's important not to overthink it too much. it's just a semi auto gearbox at the end of the day :)

I've found that treating it like an auto is not ideal. It doesn't behave like an auto with a torque converter.
Re the fuzzy logic on the DSG, after some reading, I think you have a point. But it's a contentious issue. Some say it exists (including some knowledgable folks on here), some say it doesn't. To a certain extent, it has to exist to adapt the clutches at a mechanical level. In my experience, it does exist and adapts to your driving :happy2:

You can treat it however you like but it doesn't justify the clunk and I'd say check your mounting and dog bone bushes.
