thamestrader - I might say that I fully agree about your experiences and and advice about D and S mode, When I´m near a roundabout (or in some kind of tricky traffic) i pull down in S. It gives me more control and less "hesitation". It seems kind of weird that Tiptronic up-gears are pushing away and down-gears are pulling, but it is really fun and smooth with tiptronic and it really maximizes your control if you want to drive a little sporty 😉

Thanks for answering! 😊What about a DSG gearbox adapting and learning of you're driving style? Is that for real or is everything settled by the computer frem the begining? And is it possible for a DSG technician to program the gearbox?

Yes, maybe i'll just go for Sport mode every time or get used to the Tiptronic where I can let it run for the RPM i like.

Hi, nta16 - No such thing exist in that model. It's only D (Drive) and S (Sport - which is not so sporty but nevertheless with more RPM in each gear)

Thanks for reply. I will use S-mode for sure most of the time, because D-mode doesn't seem very well harmonized when you'are accelerating from 1200 RPM or so in every gear. 7th gear is already around 75 kmph 🙂

I have just bought a Fabia with a DSG7 gearbox clocked with 82.000 miles. Running fine, but in the “D” position it seems that it changes gears way to early. Sometimes around 1500-1600 RPM. I’m obviously not a gearbox rookie, so I would like to know if it is possible to adjust the DSG gearbox? Or is this just common wear?
