I search the forum to see if someone reported a weird opeartion of his DSG on a TDI Passat and found nothing, so here is my issue.
I bought a 2014 Passat TDI MNS with an automatic DSG transmission after driving a Jetta TDI 2004 5 speeds MT for 10 years, so I have no idea of how the DSG should work, but I think it is not working properly and I need the feedback from owners to help me.
Let's start: When I do a stop and don't go to a full stop, restarting at about 8km/h (5m/h), the transmission won't downshift into first gear, it will restart in second. To compare, I asked a co-worker to try his 2013 TDI DSG Jetta to see the difference and wow, the car was downshifting on 1st gear at 10-20 km/h(6-12 m/h) with nice accelaration. I though I had a good comparaison and went to the dealer this morning to have it checked. The mecanic went to test drive it with me and confirmed that the transmission was not shifting as it should be, but tonight when I called to see if they fixed the problem, the service manager said that the VW line said that the transmission was working correctly, so I am a little sceptic. The service manager said that he wanted to find the problem and he will have his mecanic to take the car overnight and plug the computer to find an error code, if there is one.
So here we are, I need the feedback of you owners of NMS PAssat with DSG & TDI about the way their transmissions are working to realy believe the dealer's conclusion.
Best regards.
