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,

  • DSG Downshifts

    I have noticed that whenever you are slowing to a complete stop the transmissions only downshifts as far as third gear and then selects 2nd and 1st gear when you have come to a complete stop.
    Just curious to know if this is normal behavior.

    A lot of auto cars do something similar. So I’d say it’s normal.

    Your thread has reminded me of something odd with my gearbox lately.

    It often gets close to stalling the engine as I come to a stop- real slow and real quick decelerations are worse, than the middle ranges.

    Plus it now shudders as it comes to a stop. Feels like the clutch is grabbing and then slipping about 3-5 times in the final second of movement.
