Hello,
I have a 2006 tdi automatic with BRM and the car is great but i think it shifts odd. The car doesnt seem to have issues shifting into or out of any gears however, when i do take off, 1st gear seems to be a crawler gear, then shifts to 2nd fine, but 3rd seems to pull hard! the car wants to take off like its in a drag race! all other shifts seem to be fine. this gets kind of annoying when in traffic, the car rolls and gets going ok but this 1 shift between 2nd and 3rd (i think) throws you back in the seat.
I have been looking for anyone who may have a similar issue but everyone else seems to have issues where the car wont shift into or out of gear.
Any thoughts would be great.

Search the site for Zip Tie Mod. It sounds like you’re having an issue with the turbo actuator & not the DSG.

I had the same and thought it was something with the transmission, but I did the zip tie mod for other issues, and it fixed the shifting issue as well.
