Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • MK7.5 R harsh shifting 2>3

    hey guys,
    ive got a MY18 7.5 R, its got an stage 1 high torque tune (tcu and dsg) its got 38k on the clock

    ive noticed a pretty harsh shift from 2>3 gear under full load and also under 30-40% throttle.
    ive taken the car to my guy and we've inspected all motor mounts and the spherical/dog bone mount to see if there was anything wrong with them, but they were all good! threw a bfi insert in the mount to see if it would solve the problem but if anything its made it harsher farken.
    i went back and removed the dsg tune to see if it was a software issue but the problem still persists

    has anyone had similar issues with their car before ?
    if so
    what was the solution to this problem ?

    cheers

    Have no evidence and no personal symptoms or experience ... but ... have read similar issues of harsh gear changes possibly from under filled DSG oil on the mk7.5 models.

    Something to look into

      How did you go in the end? Keen to know what the problem was.
      On another note, are you happy with the tune for the ECU and DSG? What company did you go with?
