hi, I have an s3 with dsg, when pulling away at a junction there is a huge delay. I've noticed some have had remaps to stage1, does this help or not? if so what remap?

From what I've read, S Tronic mode and Drive Select mode have more of an impact on pickup from stationary than anything else.

Is this with stop/start or hill hold assist ?

Some have found flicking the gear selector down into S mode helps with a quick(er) getaway.

huge gap with stop/start, even with engine running seems slow but once going ok. might try manual.
Rob does revo tcu make a difference?

To be honest had the TCU map put on when already stage 2 and with boost hoses and intercooler so have to say it was already 'improved' and haven't noticed improved pick up from standstill over the last few weeks.

I had to change from M&S to Adrian Flux and it went up £200.

I have found the same. Flick into sport does help. Though a year in i have sort of adapted and seem to be able to give it the right amount of throttle. When i first got it , it was nothing...nothing... Oh my god thrown back in seat.
I do ztill flip into sport if i want a quick getaway though.
