(nIce to see the forum running again)
I have the aforementioned Golf 1.4 tsi with the 7 sp dsg auto.
The change quality is mostly excellent, but there are a few problems.
1. When pulling away from rest, you have to be really precise to avoid a lurch. This means you must squeeze the throttle open a small amount.
2. The car will get into top (7th) gear at about 37 mph. At this speed the engine is doing about 1200 rpm, which feels far too little since your can hear the engine labouring.
3. At about this speed it needs a fair stab of throttle if you want to accelerate. Ie: throttle response is rather "wooley" Coupled with item 1. therefore you seem to be playing russian roulette as you never quite know how the car will react.
My VW dealer after copying data & sending it to VW declared that all was well, and they are all like that sir.
Anybody have any comments? (Mr. Tack. I think you have the same car?)
