| Description of the problem | I have been experiencing dsg shifting issues. On slight inclines such as driveway entrances, when in reverse, i'll accelerate and there is no response. Many times, neighbors think i am revving my car. Also, when accelerating from start or a slow speed on d or s mode, the engine will rev very high close to 4000-5000rpm. A dsg service had been done by the dealer a few years ago and i had another one done last month suspecting that it could be the fluid but to no avail, i am still experiencing this issue. |
