    New DSG gearbox after 6700 miles

    i find the sport setting very frustrating - it over revs the tdi by 400 rpm - whilst it sounds faster it is quicker in normal D drive position imo in regards to round abouts - i find clicking into sport on the approach works as it selects a lower gear earlier - ie revs kept around 2000...

    Road Race: 2.0FSI v 2.0TDI

    'Do you really think manufacturers set their gear ratios to deliver the best 0-60 time' they do - a few examples 0-60 is led alot by no of gear changes (non dsg owners take note!) and rev limit 2 changes = fast 0-60 - 3 not so good - obviously engine has to be powerfull enough to pull a gear...

    Getting an Audi A3 as my first car..

    agree - either you like them or dont - open mind is all thats required and disengage hearing / gear change - to get those short shifts in to keep it on the boil. but then again like you i dont bother as dsg takes the hastle out of it :-) bhp sells cars - torque moves them :-)
