My 2015 tdi 80% of time normal driving feels like it falls flat on its face when it shifts from 2nd to 3rd gear. I'm not sure if it's just in the tune after the emissions fix or something else is wrong. Its just for a split second and definitely noticeable like its had fuel cutoff and then its fine. Shifting manually by winding the rpms up more seems to take issue away, but not always. Just replaced the fuel filter and no change. Any ideas or others had this issue?

Car has 62k miles on it. At 58k a new long block and turbo was put in under warranty.

To the best of my knowledge there was nothing done to the DSG after or during the Phase 1 or Phase 2 fix. I've had both done.

It's just how the power is delivered, at least in mine, some cars experience big power loss some don't

Stupid emissions and junk tune. I'd already have had a tune if it wasn't for the lengthy warranty vw offers. Just afraid if I needed work done they would flag me. I started running power service 200 miles ago and its definitely smoother running and just feels more snappy. I'm gonna run it with every fill up now as it only costs about $1.70 U.S. dollars per tank.

Power service doesn't do anything for me, I just bought hotshot everyday use , will see if it makes a difference
