What is dsg reset?

[LukeWS]

Hi this is a question for the more technical people on here

But i found this link on a different thread

http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/228192-reseting-dsg/

And just wondered what its all about and what gains you get from doing it? As my gear changes are sometimes a bit clunky and in manual i find it changes up/down for me that little to early, would doing this then driving it make the dsg "learn" to hold on for a bit with my driving style or am i just 100% confused and this wont do a thing? Lol

Thanks for any info and help in advance

Ok own up who has gone out to their car and tried this ?

Not me ;-)

A few with leons have done it from what I've read but none with ibizas haha I'm looking more on info to what its about and what it does? Before I try anything because I know my luck ill do it and the car won't even start

The 'click from a switch' quoted is a fake resistance to simulate the extra pressure you would normally feel in a convensional automatic to select kickdown. I had the throttle apart on my car and its a plastic cup with a spring in it, not a switch - no connection.

I see but still there could be something in there that makes it "reset" as they say, i still havent got any idea what its about haha

Tried it..... Not really noticed anything different so my guess is I've done it wrong or there was no problem in the first place or i was just being fussy

Mines just had a new clutch in, and the Boca had to relearn everything again.

Personally i dont think it does anything. All a placebo effect.

it adjusts the clutch bite point with the short config method. its made my 4th gear happier. Apparently you are meant to adjust twice a year to compensate for high temp changes. So in the uk where it been high 20's adjust then and then again for winter when it barely meets double figures. apparently they come out defaulted to an expected ambient temp, so you you know things expand and contract at different temps... so the advice i got given off alfa guys with the selespeed is do it twice a year. Different unit i know but still has an actual clutch etc...
