Hey everyone, I recently bought a new Cupra Leon 1.5 etsi 75 plate, and I’ve noticed a weird behavior with the 7-speed DSG gearbox. When I downshift from 2nd to 1st at low speeds, the car seems to give a slight forward push. I know DSG quirks are common, but I wanted to ask—has anyone else experienced this? Did you go to a service, or was it just a normal behavior? I’d appreciate any insights—thanks!

No, it’s not hybrid. I think they call it mild hybrid. That engine is 1.5 ETSI 150 bhp

What speed is it shifting to first gear? When you're about to stop?
 
Yeah, exactly when I’m coming to a stop, like at traffic lights or in slow traffic, just before stopping completely

I'm not sure exactly what speed, but I'm trying to figure it out. I'd say around 5–10 miles
