Currently have a 2014 Jetta TDI; rawtech delete with engine and DSG tune from tunezilla.

I've noticed in traffic or going up steep roads the car will struggle when starting in 2nd gear. I've noticed at slow speed (5MPH) the car will be in 2nd gear and when I press the gas a little the car will hesitate before going. I have VCDS so let me know what you guys stuggest. It drives a bit better in S mode.

Since you have VCDS I would check boost & fuel pressure (you can run a graph). Sounds like one of those might point you in the right direction
