DSG Tuning
RedRobin:

Use M-mode and stay in control of your shifts.
I only use D-mode for urban and traffic crawl queues. S-mode can be fun for multi-junction very busy roundabouts. Otherwise it's into M-mode whenever my shoulders reach the GLF roadside sign (the white disc with diagonal black stripe).

One thing I have noticed. With the faster gear changes, I would really benefit by having upgraded engine mounts. If you change gear when the torque is at peak level it can be a little jolting. Overall it's really good, but expensive IMO.

Has the dsg been serviced recently? I noticed smoother gear changes after the service?
But being honest, I've never noticed sluggish gearchanges at high rpm.
The only time it has been sluggish is from 1st to 2nd when the car is cold

I see where your coming from mate, but what I experience is more often than not on dry roads and already in motion i.e. not from a standing start. I think I'll look into the DSG map and see if that changes anything. The car by no means has had a hard life, 1 middle aged female owner from new, 24k on the clock.

Ahh ok was just a suggestion as I know 1st to 2nd gear changes can be a bit stop and go if the throttle is on decent amount of throttle.
Rich, do you find the jerk with the paddles? try the shifter itself as I find that the paddles can be jerky at times but the shifter is always better. Interested to know if you find the same or if it is the software (and I just have a messed up steering wheel controller.
Mav could be worth a basic setting reset on the DSG as it adjusts the clutch pack bite points and forces it to re-learn all the shift points, its in the ross tech wiki and I have performed it a number of times on my own and other peoples and it will often solve teething issues.

I'll try it rich and let you know.
