Mapped tdi and DSG
- Thread starter shnazzle

Haha. Don't get me wrong mate. This whole thread is comparable to me complaining about a loose stitching on a brand new Ferrari F430.
I'd still have the DSG any day of the week. Its just too quick and smooth not to love it. And, amazing for cruising. Can you drink a Starbucks while driving through town? Hehe
...hypothetically speaking
Having come from manuals and after driving some slushbox automatics on a few occasions the DSG is something else. Now that I've been driving with a DSG for a few weeks I certainly wouldn't want to swap it for one with a manual box.
When i went to visit my mate james23parkin I took him for a drive and he owns a mk1 LCR and even he was surprised by how smooth it was. Best bet is just go for a test drive and after an hour you should be decided to if you want to stick to manual or come to the DSG world
To be fair mine probably needs a reset.
Forgot how to do this. Electronics on, throttle pedal all the way down for 10 seconds or something?
I have a manual, When I'm doing 30 and I'm on a flat road it will sometimes request 5th flashing on my dashboard in a really annoying way.
If I'm doing 35 it will change to 6th.
The economy is phenomenal but if you need to start moving away (even slowly) the deep noise of the engine winding up is horrible and the torque is probably reaking havoc on the rest of the components.
I pretty much ignore the gear selector now. I'll only use 6th 40+ and anything below that I'll be in 4th.

Exactly this. The fact that your gear indicator is telling you to shift at these awkward points does at least confirm that it's a stupid programming error.
I also have the cr170 dsg and have been thinking of having it mapped stage 1 only ,
Shnazzle knowing what you know now would you still have it done?

Splendid, my mind was pretty much made up anyway.

Has anyone ever had a map done at rs tuning in Leeds ? Or heard any feedback about them ?
Apparently there my nearest for a revo map.
Heard the name. I think they're on the list of "good tuners"
along with Shark (also not too far from there), Big Fish (bit further north), etcStg1 Revo is about the same as stg2 in other places, so should be good. I've seen some really nice curves from Revo on the CR170.
I might switch over at some point to see what they can do. Now that my tuner protection had been disabled it can all be done via OBD
I love the DSG 90% of the time... Sometimes a little jerky 1-2-3 when pulling away in between 'Grandad and boy racer' modes and as Mr Shnazzle says, the kick down can be a little slow in D - so i always over ride rather than wait for kick down 30's? Ha you young scamps....

I do that sometimes but i wasn't sure if it could upset the gearbox by been in D then manually going down a couple of gears to pass someone then letting it go back to auto.
And by upset i mean break .
