Lurching when accelerating then releasing the pedal

[PDMJO]

Hi all,

Hoping someone in here can shed some light on something I experienced this morning:

Upon gassing it, before the car could properly embrace the weight of my foot, I suddenly released the accelerator (as someone pulled out in front of me) and it was the equivalent of slamming the brakes - the car gave me an almighty lurch forward.

So here's my question... why does the car do this? Did I (without realising) hit the redline in 1st and the moment I released the accelerator, instead of upshifting, it attempted to protect itself and pull the revs all the way down? Or is this something more sinister?

I've noticed it usually does this even without hard accelerating - you give it a decent push then release the accelerator, and the revs kick down quite rapidly. Today was just the worst instance.

It's my first DSG vehicle so I'm unsure if this is characteristic or not.

I have noticed this a couple of time too.
Be interested in any light that can be shed on this

Probably dropped back a gear when you lifted your foot

Try driving it like you own it not like you stole it. Redlining a fairly newish car is not my idea of looking after it.

After you have released your foot after "a decent push" its probably changed up as you have been hammering it and it stayed in that gear, then when you lift off it goes up a gear and revs will drop

What mode have you got it in

I’ve noticed it’ll happen even if you just give the accelerator a bit of lead, then immediately release the pedal. The revs decline fairly rapidly, regardless of drive mode.

D mode

DSG!!............................

Even though the Gen2 Tig with the DQ500 is meant to be better than the Golf R DSG, my MK6 R DSG felt alot tighter and smoother, evene after 100,000km on the clock..

The Tig DSG is very clunky.. I do have a Stage 1 DSG tune tho.

Good to know! Looking forward to seeing the benefits of the DSG tune for myself
