In D mode my TSI will use 7th gear at speeds as low as 50kph. If I want power I just push on the throttle harder and it'll drop to 4th or 5th. If I really want power, I'll engage Sport mode and accelerate and within 2 seconds my speed has increased by around 30kph (that's with the APR tune).
have got to spend more time with the Golf manual ... yes that worked, have no concerns about DSG at all now. Just turn it off!!!
the sun is trying to come out in SE Qld., I might have a drive up and around the Mary Valley....
