This is a '15 Passat with phase 1 fix.
Before I bought the tune, I was aware there is a possibility of the DSG shudder under heavy acceleration in higher gears now that I've have it, looking to cure it. So while I've felt it 4 or 5 times since installing, mainly it's been pulling away from toll booths or merging on ramps, while not full throttle, but rpms up around 2-2,5K and defiantly feeding her. After a couple seconds of shudder, you can feel power dial back and everything is back to normal.
While I know this shudder isn't good for the DMF, the DSG is doing what it's supposed to do and dialing back the power, are there any long term side affects if this is once and a while occurrence or is it something to be avoided at all costs.
Today will be the first day the wife drives it, I'll be interested if she notices the shudder, she was in the car this past weekend with the new tune, but never said anything when it shuddered.
We put on 600 miles since the tune mostly highway/country roads and I'll agree with the another members review that it's as if the ECU was given a large coffee or 6 pack of jolt. The car just seems to want to cruise and pull way more willingly. Even with the crazy tall gearing of the '15 DSG at 60mph at 1,6-1,7RPM squeeze the peddle, gives pretty instant pull up to 70-75, where before it just felt lethargic, maybe a down shift. Initial tip in and pull from slow speeds and stops reminds me more of my '10 jetta manual when I stood on it. While I haven't floored it, very happy with the results and hope the wife.
So can you mix and match DSG tunes with stage tunes? While I have close access to a Malone dealer, just curious if you're locked into Malone or if any other DSG tuner will be able to offer something.
So who offers a DSG tune for the '15 Passats?
