AFAIK changing (shortening) the accelerator pedal reaction time by software (VCDS or Vag-com) is possible. I find the default reaction time of the pedal slow.

What is the channel number? Which value makes it more responsive?

Thanks in advance

This is probably peoples interpretation of the dreaded DSG hesitation...I notice the lag coming from a cable throttled car...BRING BACK WIRE is what i say!!

Er sorry no idea how to do it via VCDS. I would suggest posting in the VCDS sub forum as you may get a better response from a wider audience!

It was same on my non-DSG cars. When you press the accelerator, the engine revvs after couple of seconds.

I feel a noticeable delay when quickly changing the position of the gas pedal (Gear position: N). Throttle response?

there was a guy cant remember who but after aving probs with a remap got another company to sort a remap out and they were able to sort this out. By what i understand it doesnt open throttle body half if your pushing on throttle half but say u push to 3/4 its opened throttle body full. i know i have read sumthing abiut this maybe vrsy could help???

That was me.

Slightly different issue though. My problem was that the ratio of throttle input to throttle opening is not a 1:1 ratio after the pedal is over 3/4 depresed. For instance if you press the pedal 50% it opens the throttle 50% which is great and what you want. But at around 75%(ish) pedal depression the throttle is suddenly opened to nearly 100% which renders the remaining movement of the throttle pedal as useless.

I found this a real pain on a wet trackday at Mallory Park around Gerrards when i was at 3/4 throttle around it as it kep moving from 3/4 throttle to 100% with the tiniest movement. Jabbasport then remapped my car for me and changed the throttle input ratio to a 1:1 ratio so that it was much more linear and easy to modulate.

What the OP is describing seems different. Id say hes describing turbo lag personally

oh okay well i would prefer a 1:1 ratio aswell, just makes sense really like wire throttle does

Think you can get something called a sprint booster that might do the job, cant remember much about them though

DSG lag is pretty much fixed in latest software. Turbo lag is a possibility.

Don't notice much throttle lag personally (in TSi though), not like for example MY2000 1.6 Golf, literally 1 second delay. The delay makes the car easier (smoother) to drive in traffic I believe, so like anything it's a compromise.

Today I got the new software 37G8, not tested the car yet

After ECU and gearbox software update car has become more responsive, I like it now

(also turbo shimmed, timing chain replaced under warranty)
