Title: DSG revs drop
Post by: afzalmj on October 14, 2015, 08:41:16 pm

To all DSG owners : do your revs drop to less than 500 RPM when:
 
(a) Setting off slowly in 1st, saying from a set of lights
(b) Coming to a stop, when it changes from 2 -> 1

Other way of describing it is that it feels like it's going to stall, but manages to "catch itself" and accelerate as normal.

Also, if I don't leave it a second or two after selecting 1st or R, it can do an initial jerk on acceleration and almost stall. This isn't the same issue as I had fixed recently (Mechatronics bunny hop in 1st and reverse).

Thanks in advance!

Mine does this. Was told it was DSG related. Never really had an experts opinion on it yet though. Be interesting to know what it is.
