QLD G'day from Forest Lake, Brisbane

Hi there. Just about to get my new 118 TSI DSG next week, my first brand new car. At age 42 it's about the bloody time

It's finally here. Arrived last Wednesday, already made around 1,000 km.

One thing I can't get used to, though, or rather can't figure out - the accelerator. It's just so unbelievably stiff and loose at the same time. No matter how I press it, the car feels ever so jumpy.

If you press it gently, it goes a little, then feels like it's choking a little before it fully engages into the second gear, then goes. If you press it harder, it just runs away from you. I don't know, weird ... Any tips?

That's the DSG talking

When you initially press the accelerator, it has to engage gear quickly. Only then will it perform like a normal car.

Enjoy the Mk6! Use the search function if you have anymore questions about your DSG as most of them have been covered in the Mk5 section.
