    DQ200 Tune

    Hi There,

    Any one there that done the DSG tune on a DQ200??? If so, what are your thoughts?

    I just bought one MK7 Wagon and I'm very disappointed with the transmission, don't get me wrong, I had a Passat b6 with a DQ200 and was very pleasant to drive. I also drive everyday a MK7.5(from work) with the same gearbox and it’s a totally different car! WAY more responsive than my wagon with the same drive train. Sometimes I’m already in 7th gear at less than 60km/h! and always shifts in lows 1k rpms. The MK7.5 shifts just before the 2k.

    There is any way to flash the same software? Or just tuning?

    Cheers.

    I know this sounds like a stupid answer, but is the work 7.5 in Sport mode and your 7 wagon in normal Drive mode?

    Given these settings adjust when the vehicle up shifts, it sounds like it could be that.

    (But given you’ve driven your fair share of DSQ200s, this was probably the first thing you checked!)

    Is the point of the increased clamping pressure to minimise clutch slip/wear? If so, do you know if this removes one of the most frequent DQ200 complaints - premature clutch pack replacement?

    No, they are both in drive mode. In sport it's wired as well but not that much.

    Yes, the purpose is entirely to prolong the life of the clutch packs. Less slip, more grip.

    See here for details

    Best mod you can do to a DQ200 car IMO, even better than an ECU tune. Incidentally, after we did the DSG tune, my daughter has not felt the need for an ECU tune yet, the car si so much more balanced and responsive.

    Thanks for the feedback. I'll contact them and see if they can do it for me.
