Hey all, just picked up a 2004 3.2 and am getting used to the DSG...sort of. Its fine that there is a half second delay on setting off as it goes into neutral when stationary (annoying, but fine) but there are some quirks that make me wonder if it is doing what it should be doing....done a fair bit of searching, but there seem to be a few different issues, not quite what I am getting. All help welcome
When sitting in traffic (so getting fairly hot), in D and at idle, the revs drop to ~700 as normal, but then rise up to a little over 1000 and 'bounce' gently as if straining against clutch. When I take foot off brake it does jerk forward. This gets tiresome in traffic jams and the delay before properly engaging first is longer - even though it is 'creeping' I can accelerate but just gets revs (before being launched forward with a bang)
If I shift into N there is a noticeable vibration, but only in N. This happens most of the time, not tried it on a cold engine, but definitely does it when in traffic as above.
When plodding along at 30mph in D (~1200 revs) it sometimes gets confused and downshifts a gear, sits at ~1800 revs for a second then shifts back to 1200 and repeats this until I get annoyed and put it into manual, but all the time I haven't moved the accelerator.
So, since I only picked it up from a dealership (Honda/Skoda, but comes with 12 month complete warranty) on Friday, I am keen to highlight any issues with them early on, but could do with some advice on what these boxes are really like
Cheers
Rob
