Kangadrool Supersonic December 25, 2018 Share December 25, 2018 It's programmed with certain set scenarios, but DSG/auto gearbox cannot see what's ahead which a manual driver can and choose to shift or not shift accordingly. One day when it can see ahead and make decisions, then I call it improvement.

Ody_2004 Turbocharged December 26, 2018 Share December 26, 2018 All technology need user experience and time to improve on it. Be it Manual, CVT, Torque Converter, DSG etc.. I remember 10 years or more back Toyota never wanna ship it CVT models out as in the event of recall or rectification, it be more cost effective and efficient to do in the local Japan Market. Nissan If I not wrong is the first few to export CVT box oversea. Those earlier Toyota CVT are brought in by PI. Of cos VW could do more on their DSG. If one is not prepare to be part of this experiment they can always go for other make/model with more proven gearbox. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbswiss 1st Gear December 27, 2018 Share December 27, 2018 For driving in stop & go traffic and going slowly in a carpark, what should be the safe way to drive with a DSG gearbox? I'm a bit confused about stopping completely then flooring the pedal. Wouldn't this sort of driving style be quite dangerous? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kopfan 3rd Gear December 27, 2018 Share December 27, 2018 Why so complicated? Driving auto, you just control on your acceleration. Going up slope, you just accelerate as you go up and release acceleration as you go down/slow down. DSG change gear fast and smooth compared with other auto gear, that's all...

Thanks in advance, Naresh. What is your mileage? Could be yourself not used to the friction on new gear and brake? Give yourself around 2000km for smoothing out the new gear and brake. Just drive DSG the way you like it... Enjoy! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are in heavy jam, common stop and go slow traffic won't do much harm on auto gear. They are designed to take on such stress.

When you approach a ramp in any MSCP, naturally you need to slow the car down before making the ascend. No need to stop completely, just need to slow the car to enough speed that the gear is lowered to D2 or D3 can already. Do it a few times you will get the hang of it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to the ecu control in golf, gear will dis engaged when brake applied and car come to a complete stop for a couple of seconds. Not every auto car do this. In layman's terms, for auto gear, D is always in gear. Therefore, in heavy jam where you need to brake and release in short timing, is harmful to all auto car gear. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In layman's terms, for auto gear, D is always in gear. Therefore, in heavy jam where you need to brake and release in short timing, is harmful to all auto car gear. While the gear of a "standard" automatic transmission is "always in gear". The design of the transmission with the torque converter actually means that it is capable of creeping forward at glacial speeds, all day, for miles on end, without any extended clutch wear. The reason is that if you look closely at the design of an automatic transmission, the torque converter is free to rotate even though it's "in gear" while the rest of the transmission stays stationary. This is an inherent design of any "standard" automatic transmission and is what gives it its characteristics, both good and bad. The greatest harm you could do to your automatic transmission is to put it to neutral, and then attempt to launch it by revving it to 6k rpm and then engaging the gear in D. Don't get me wrong. As with most things in engineering, it's a Yin and Yang thing. Like the Dual-clutch transmission, the automatic transmission is not without its flaws. It absorbs a significant amount of the energy entering the transmission (the torque converter), and hence an AT car, even if the weight were the same, is always thirstier than a MT. They are also somehow "less involving" to drive as compared with a DCT or MT. At the end of the day, know what you have, and care for it accordingly. Your car will reward you in the form of the clutch not s***ting itself prematurely. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How slow do you get before you mount the incline slope? 15km/h? 5km/h?? if you are really at dead slow speeds, i could imagine the lethargy you experienced since the car is trying not to let you pocket rocket front and back like when you are parking right?? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
