Hey everyone.
I have a still new to me mk5 golf TDI with a DSG transmission. It has a very noticeable lag when you take your foot off the brake and then apply gas. I know this has been discussed to death, but I am trying to see if I can improve it a little.
I have a question for those of you who have a similar car.
I have found that when I have the car running, in Park, when I step on the brake, the little green foot symbol goes out *immediately*. However, when I release the brake pedal quickly, it takes almost a full second for the green foot symbol to turn on. Even though he pedal itself snaps up. I have also checked with VCDS and can hear the transmission selector lock reengaging at the same time the green foot comes on....as it should, just a bit slow.
Given the DSG, and drive by wire throttle, have brake switch sensor inputs and will not accelerate while it thinks the brakes are applied, I think it is possible that lag in the sensing of brake release is making the infamous DSG start from a standstill worse.
Can anyone else check to see if their Mk5 does the same thing when you release the brake pedal quickly?
PS my Golf has no external brake pedal brake switch sensor. The only sensor is the one incorporated into the master cylinder plunger/hall effect sensor on the engine side of the firewall.
Might be clutching at straws......but may be able to improve one of the DSG headaches we all love so much.
Cheers
