Afternoon all,

I was driving yesterday (16 plate 1.6 TDI DSG) on the motorway, around 70mph and wanted to pass the car in front so I planted the foot.

I was currently in D7 and the kickdown took me to D5. now usually when I do this, the revs will rise and I'll notice the almost immediate uptake in speed.

Unfortunately from yesterday, the revs seemed to limit at 3000rpm and there wasn't that uptake in speed.

I tried out the kickdown on lower speeds (while off the motorway) and there didn't seem to be any issues that way, it picked up fine and you could feel the acceleration but afterwards, taking it back to 70 replicated the initial issue.

Has anyone experienced this, car is going in for a service on Wednesday, I'll mibbe mention when I take it in.
