I've just taken ownership of a 2009 R36 (yay!) and just wanted to ask other owners for their experiences.
This is the third car I've now owned with the 6 speed wet clutch DSG, and I think its a great piece of technology.
In the R36, particularly in sport mode (but also in drive), the DSG seems to me (i've only had the car 2 days) to be maybe slightly more aggressive on the clutch clamping pressures on downshifts than in the A3 or Octavia vRS.
Is this a calibration choice with the R36 (which I would be fine with), to give it a more sporty feel, or is the DSG in mine perhaps in need of a software update or (fingers crossed its not) could it be the mechatronics unit?
Car was recently serviced at Volksmuller for its 60k so had DSG oil changed.
There are no fault codes from the transmission module.
Upshifts are perfectly smooth and don't feel overly aggressive on clutch uptake.
I have driven a car with a faulty DSG and it was noticably aggressive with clamping, and hesitant to engage from standstill. The R36 is NOT behaving like this.
