Golf R APR tune issue DSG

[Ideo]

Thread no. 1654 why I'm glad I didn't go DSG

I'm no APR fan, far from it, but as Adam says above, there is no link between the two apart from circumstantial stuff.

What's more worrying is the lack of calls etc. Even if this is a perception it's not a good thing for a business.

Manual boxes are already having their own set of issues with tunes

There are also plenty of us mere mortals that have fluffed a manual gear change and hit the rev limiter

There is in excess of 400 Golf R DSG cars tuned by APR in Australia, we know them pretty well & can handle any problems. To date there have been more "broken" Golf R Manual transmissions than DSG's that we are aware of (and they are out numbered by DSG 8 to 1 on our count).

We have asked the OP to get in contact with his APR dealer for diagnosis. Unfortunately the OP is in Melbourne & our head office is in Brisbane so it needs to be handled locally (and our dealer has tried to call the OP).

That makes sense.

As I said, perception is usually the issue.

Out of interest what issues with manuals are being had?

Busted Syncro's mainly. Certainly I would be careful of using short shifters and hard changing on these boxes.

Just to let the OP know, I am running APR stage 2 as per my signature. No DSG issues at all.

Did you have fun away from the traffic lights at Broadmeadow last night?

Guy. Thanks. That's what I thought you meant.

Guy, yes I am Andrew's customer (DNA performance) but I don't want to mix the tune/DSG issue with my APR dealer... DNA performance have been great, top service and highly recommended.

My last contact from DNA was Tuesday last week... I don't want to get stuck in trivial stuff, but no phone or email contact has occurred since then.... Unless you count the email I've coincidently received today?

DNA performance have asked (today) to run a diagnostic over the transmission and see what is uncovered.

Thanks to the wider forum and feedback, I'll keep everyone updated on progress

Not me Your Honour. It must have been someone that looked like me. My alibi is that I was at home watching tv with my owner in the garage.

Sorry to re-hash this tread 18months after it has stopped, but i'm behind the times.

I am having the issue of hitting the rev limiter during gear changes from time to time as well, having just upgraded to an APR 2+ on my GolfR.

Anyway, this false neutral problem??? I have noticed that using launch control (only about 4 times) that on 2 of them, I could feel the gearbox load up (the revs going up slowly to around 3500rpm) then launched. The other couple of times there was no sensation of load and revs rose quickly to around 4000rpm (like it was in neutral) then launched but not with as much pick up.

Is this a false neutral issues???

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
