When is best to change gear cupra 290 DSG?

[Brandon Ridley]

Hi all,

Just wondering when people would advise to change gear in my cupra 290 DSG, just if I rev it all the way out and it auto-upshifts it feels like the power starts to drop off between 6500 and 7000 so I’ve been changing between 6000 and 6500. However I don’t know if it revs it right out so it’s more in the power band in the next gear? Would anyone advise differently?

Cheers
Brandon

From Dyno results I've seen the power drops after 6500

So, change at 6500

Yeah thought so, glad because I’d prefer to change manually anyway.

Cheers mate
