Yes, but the computers throw a hissy fit when you try to wind up the engine with a foot on the brake, and the dual clutch and dmf kit is insanely expensive so I’m not going to abuse it...You have two feet, correct?

Fair nuf. The Trimatic in Ye Olde Kingswood is decidedly less fussy. Surprised quite a few wannabe racers back in my P plate daysYes, but the computers throw a hissy fit when you try to wind up the engine with a foot on the brake, and the dual clutch and dmf kit is insanely expensive so I’m not going to abuse it...
Nah, I think the QV models might have launch control but this is more of an Italian Golf.Poor dual clutch unit then. Launch control? Drive to the edge of a cliff, then drive over it?
They do it all on their own, no need for launch.Poor dual clutch unit then. Launch control? Drive to the edge of a cliff, then drive over it?
The old 3 speed Borg Warner in the Rover V8 was about that level of sophistication tooFair nuf. The Trimatic in Ye Olde Kingswood is decidedly less fussy. Surprised quite a few wannabe racers back in my P plate days
Alfa is good on the move away from traffic - the road into Thredbo for example the gearbox is wonderful! It’s the car park and slow traffic stuff it gets a bit clunky and jerky in.We had a 132kw GTI Polo with the DSG and apart from the occasional clutch shudder and the lingering sense that the whole thing could drop it’s bundle at any time, it was a beautiful thing. It held gears to the limiter, matched revs and even held a lower gear for some engine braking if you were on the brakes. I never did launch it though, it’s a hot hatch, not a dragster.
Ah, you've read page 134 of the owners manual!Fingers crossed
What page is it on for VW manuals?Ah, you've read page 134 of the owners manual!
Three! Wow, what went on them? Same issue each time?I don’t cross fingers, DSGs are warranty replacement items for me.
Three now, hasn’t cost me a cent.
You might have a mechatronics unit failure as well. Be careful.I reckon the mechatronics unit will be next.

Now you've said that of course the clutch pack will fry itself.I reckon the mechatronics unit will be next.

Mate has a Mk V R32 DSG. Many many many kms. Totally fine.MkV golf gti DSG going strong with 200,000 on the taco.
Hifi can vouch for how smooth that car was.
I like golfs.
The wet clutch versions seem to be good. Getrag gave up on the dry clutches they were selling to Ford and Renault and converted to wet clutch designs.... (mind you, a lot of that was Ford writing dumb software that made them start off in second gear and slip the shit out of the clutch. Same unit in Renaults were reliable...).MkV golf gti DSG going strong with 200,000 on the taco.
