i also received my passat last week, friday
same colour with urs ,bro
BTW, the DSG engine is really cool in gear shift, fast and steady
but i also feel that the interval of each gear switching is too short
almost gear up every 10km/hrs increased
frankly i feel "stress" while car in front slowing down or depressed the brake
coz the car need decreased its gear ,mayb from ger 6 to gear 2 or 1 within 10 seconds
and picking up again within next 5-10seconds @@
is it too high tension to DSG gear box?
How's your guys avoid this?
Is it advisable that we use paddle shift to gear down while we saw some cars r slowing down in front?
Coasting function ? Does passat own this?
i saw this function in owner manual book but i cant find it in setting.
thats how DSG works, as you drive - it will monitor your incline or decline, the acceleration when you are driving at 1, its already got gear 2 engaged ready to move up, as the DSG always have 2 gears engaged, then when you go 3 its anticipating you to keep on accelerating and to move up to 3
its when in a start stop traffic, jam which causes the issue, the moment u brake - it will be confused as its expecting to shift up, but u brake, and it has go back downshifting
hence when you are in traffic jam, stick to S mode or manual
and when i wanna start from standstill - or when i am in parking area - i use S mode so it does up shift that much and then when i brake downshift again
when you drive normally in D, the shift from 1 to 2 is almost like non existence rite .. hahaha thats how smooth is it
and yeah the gears as per speed are
1-10km/h
2-20km/h
3-30km/h
4-40km/h
5-50km/h
6-60km/h
7-70km/h
if your minimum speed is not achiveved, it will not shift up
