Dear BHPians,

There are quite a few threads on performing DSG reset e.g.,

https://www.hypermiler.co.uk/gearbox...t-gearbox-auto


Steps :
1. Ignition ON
2. Keep Accelerator fully depressed for 10/20 secs.

DSG is reset.

I see quite a few videos on YouTube as well, where in owners have indicated DSG behavior improvement after performing this reset. However there seems to be no official recommendation/record on this from VAG. At least I could not find one !

Now, some of fellow T-Roc owners performed this and indicated improved behavior. But one owner faced issues after performing these steps. He is getting EPC, Airbag errors etc. The car itself is running without any issues.

Have any of you done this before ? Did you encounter any issues ? How do we help the above owner to rectify the errors ?

Please advise. Thanks.

Check/search the Octavia, Slavia threads. You will see the instruction and post reset experience.
Personally, I did it twice on my Virtus and did not see any error. Please check.

In my case, I have a bad stretch of road for 1 km starting from my home. The car learnt to hold onto lower gear (1) and would upshift on higher revs. I did the reset and it temporarily improved it/got it back. Did it twice but now I left it to learn on it's own as the road improved.

Try once to see if it helps you. Did not see any negative effect or issues.

From what I have read, researched and heard - the term is also referred to as "adaptation". Please refer to couple of these posts - here, and here.

Yes, there are quite a few "official" sources of information on how to go about doing a reset or adaptation. In my limited knowledge of the subject, the gearbox can actually start responding "better" if the process is done by an authorized dealer/workshop with right calibration settings etc.

Speaking for self, I didn't do this on my (previous car) Vento DSG, so nothing to report on the good/bad part of it.
The suggested way to rectify the errors would be to get the codes identified from a VW workshop and try to get them addressed. But then, those guys at VW will touch these tinkered gearboxes only with a barge pole.

Does this apply even if we slot it into Manual mode to maintain 1st gear?

I wouldn't think so.
'Riding' the brakes (and all other commandments) are reflective of the 'Auto', not the manual / tiptronic.

Hey people have a query regarding DSG on my skoda kushaq 1.5


Car is may 23 manufactured and purchased in July 2, driven 3400kms.

My query is:

I face these peculiar jerking issue when up shifting from D1>D2>D3; So what happens is, the car revs to higher rpm say 2000-2200 and only when it reaches 18 kmph speed does it upshift to D2 and like wise when it reaches 25 kmph speed does it upshift to D3.

Only happens for D1 To D3 when the engine is optimally HOT.


IS THIS NORMAL? Have been using torque converters and cvt’s till now so this query as i find it very harsh to raise the engine rpm so high in traffic start stop conditions.


One important observation is that , this happens only when the car is at halting at traffic conditions, though i always shift to N when idling.

Please clear my doubts so as to enjoy my ride.

Downshifting is absolutely superb and doesn’t cause any jerking.

I tried to reset the transmission but the same peculiar issue or characteristics reappear!

Yes. D1-3 shifts are jerkier than the rest. Try to keep acceleration constant & jerks will be less.

Hi,

Facing a peculiar issue on my 2015 Vento 1.5 TDI.
Parking gear is not engaging whenever I keep gear selector to “P” mode. Literally car moves like I put the gear in Neutral.Rest of the gears behaves normally even Reverse gear hold the vehicle properly even on highly inclined road.Gear shifts are smooth and shift flawlessly while driving.

Have strange feeling that while shifting between gear modes (P,R,N,D,S) lever feels so slippery, can’t feel that changing notes while moves from P to D.

Changed Gear Box oil on previous service (10 months before). Mechatronics oil didn’t changed that time since item was not available on India.

Yes, slight jerks are/can be sometimes noticeable when the gears move from D1 to D2 or D3. This is mostly because of the pre-selection principle of the dual clutch. The transmission is programmed to upshift only with a combination of engine rpm + accelerator input.
Also given that you have transitioned from a torque converter, is perhaps making this experience more nuanced. No harm in getting it checked, though, if you feel it is intruding and disturbing your driving.

Hey, good to see a fellow Vento 1.5 DSG TDi owner. I was a proud owner of this beauty till about couple of years ago.

I think your problem of the 'P' mode not getting selected properly and the slippery shifter COULD be a possible symptom attributed to non/mis-functioning of the 'Hall sensors', which are responsible for proper selection of the gear lever position.

See this diagram:-



Ofcourse, there could be some other local issue. But better to get it checked pronto.

Can someone confirm which generation of the dq200 is present in the Polo GT TSI (and the newer cars)
I'm assuming is dq200 0AM
Within this there is a Gen 1, 2 and 3.
I'm again assuming that this is Gen 2 or 3 ?

It is the 0AM 927 769 F. This was the part number for the Polo GT TSI 2018 MY. Component number is : DQ200G2_PQ. The G2, I am assuming is Gen 2. Refer any scans of the Virtus/Taigun posted in the forum, the component numbers/part numbers for the auto scan will be there in it.

Happy Motoring!

Respected,

I have few queries related to DSG with my Vento 1.2 TSI, 2015 Dec model. The car is now little more than 9yrs and has run 63000 kms. The car is used exclusively on the highways.

Issue:
There is a lag of about 2-3 seconds for the vehicle to move from P to D/S on engine start.
- This issue has been there for about 3y.
- 3y back, when I first reported this to VW, they responded that nothing can be done about this as the gearbox is aging.

Issue Impact:
Once the traffic signal turns green and I start the engine, since it takes 2-3 seconds from P to D, the delay causes vehicles behind me to start honking more than the usual :-) Other than this, I have not faced other major impacts.

Based on various threads here on team-bhp, I have gathered the following points:
1. Get checked for mechatronics oil and gearbox oil
2. Get checked for the health of the transmission and its oil pump
3. Get checked for the condition of clutch plates

Other queries that I am trying to find answers for:
1. Since the car is now 9+ years old and DSG failure is number 1 probability wise, is there a way to get the diagnostics run to determine any failure or wear and tear of parts possibly indicating a future failure?
2. Is there a way to determine if gearbox and mechatronics oil change are required?
3. Get checked for any software update?

Is it better to get the above checks done at VW service or a FNG having expertise in DSG (engineering exponents and carmed are couple that are mentioned on team-bhp, any other?). I reside in south Bengaluru.

Is there anything else that I am missing that needs consideration?

Kindly advise. Thank you.

Hope you enjoy "revving" the thread!

My Vento 1.2 TSI has a lag of about 2-3 seconds before the car starts moving after slotting the gear from P to D on engine start. I have detailed in post #254.

Your response is highly appreciated. Thank you.
