    Shift dip and subsequent surge

    Hi all,

    I'm an owner of a 2018 Golf R with a 7 speed DSG; stock but for a K&N panel air intake.

    Do note that this is my first DSG vehicle, so I'm not necessarily well versed in terms of how they operate; nevertheless, I'm learning!

    When in sport shift mode, and when applying full throttle from 1st gear (no launch control), upon changing to 2nd gear; I notice a dip in power (the car physically dips forward slightly) followed by a subsequent surge in power.This dip may only last at maximum 1/2 of a second.

    This only occurs from 1st to 2nd; from experience, is this a common occurrence or is something not operating as it should on my car? Thank you!

    Is that with the stock tune?

    I had a similar issue with my 2016 R bouncing off the redline in sports mode 1st to 2nd, turns out the APR tune needed an update.. After that it shifts perfectly.

    Also worth running a VCDS scan to see if anythings up

    Thanks for your reply mate, much appreciated.

    That's interesting to hear; I'll definitely look into that.

    The car is on a stock tune, never been tinkered with.
