dsg a little jerky.

[VRSMick]

Im assuming its a normal characteristic of dsg but i was in horrendious traffic on the way home on the m6 today stop start and crawl for an hour....not a happy chappy. That said the car was a little jerky changing from 1st to second not all the time but occasionally but ive never noticed this before in normal driving.

[Ootohere]

Yes afraid first to second can be like that.  

 For once a Salesperson can truthfully say,    'they are all like that sir'.  

 

It is really hard going, i try to really just keep crawling and hope it can stay in 2nd, or 1st and not up and down.

 

If first will do you can try 1st manual, but IME it still shifts up, as it should really.

[VRSMick]

Thanks George i guess they are "all like that" still a great car and box though. When i was feathering the throttle it was ok but hard work with steel toe cap safety shoes on lol.

I offer a theory as to why DSG can be a little jerky. It comprises a double dry plate clutch system and with this wet weather the plates may rust up and may not operate so smoothly.

Same happens after I wash the car; the disks rust and the pads sometimes lock onto the disks until the car moves off.

any thoughts?

Now and again I don't get a smooth upchange to 3rd or 5th. Not always but it almost hesitates and you can feel the change. This is once in a blue moon though

[Ootohere]

If H20 or just a little moisture is getting into your DSG, or any is there while  in operation on a motorway and hot

and driving in the rain, you really do have a problem.

(if you have a box that jerks a bit between 1st and 2nd, at 5 mph- 15 mph in crawling traffic, you might notice it does they same on hot dry summer days.)

 

Humidity & Climate is a problem they say with the DSG in the recalls first in China/Australia and now elsewhere.

Mine isn't jerky ...

[Ootohere]

Good, yours is on a CTHE engine,

 

was the CAVE/DSG ever Jerky crawling for a while in traffic, some were before the ECU Update, and some still after.

[VRSMick]

Im not worried about it ive only noticed it on minimal occassionsi suppose its just the characteristics of my car. Its had an ecu update post new spark plugs.

[zouche]

I wouldn't say mine was particularly jerky, but you do notice it going from 2 to 1 - I imagine because 1 is such a low ratio...

[Ootohere]

Have you had to drive at the likes of 5, 10, 15 miles in stop start traffic at bellow 15 mph yet?

[VRSMick]

I ll noticed it when stuck in traffic on motorway was a little jerky changing to 2nd at around 5 mph. If you feathered the throttle or took it easy it was a smooth change. Thats the only time its ever been jerky.

[sharkrider]

2nd to 1st in sport or manual is jerky, but thats the software.....

[austenw90]

Mine is sometimes very slightly jerky between 1st and 2nd or 2nd and 1st in slow traffic but nothing I would worry about. I notice is clunks when stopping and going into P on a slight gradient so it rolls and rests on the gear - then when you go into D.

[VRSMick]

Same here pal

[Brin]

Hmm,  Im with Shark on this, I have no toruble at all, and I have been in seversl really long tail backs.

 

It almost takes away the frustration of sitting in hours of traffic.
 

The only few time it has ever given me any trouble was when I was new to the car,  I took over the gear changes, and changed down to first, The car didnt like that as I was doing spirited driving...

Or one when the traction control came on, as I backed of the power to control it myself. then I did a brilliant kangaroo jump for about 5 seconds... power on off on off...

[VRSMick]

By the sounds of it some have little quirks and some dont. Either way if i think its an issue i ll take it back to skoda.

[Ootohere]

Really it is not an issue or a fault, you know when it happened and the conditions it happened in.

just going up and down into 1st and 2nd as you had to keep touching the brake or stopping, crawling and then trying to maintain speed,.

And when you had enough speed to be in 2nd it was fine.

If you were doing near 20mph trickling along and it was at near 1,500-2,000 rpm you were doing, it would be in 4th probably or at least 3rd. it would be in 3rd at 15 mph

 

You could go tomorrow and try to do the same on an empty road and see if you can do it again,

unlikely you will.

Exactly goerge..........

[Ally_bassman]

2011 CAVE engine with no jerks at all. DSG has not missed a beat since I've had her.

[matthab]

I own a 60 plate Cupra, and mine does this. Ive had it reset which didn't fix it and I've had a new mechatronics unit which hasn't sorted it. After sitting in stop start traffic it will shudder/judder in first and second when pulling away.

 

Have any of you got this fixed or just one of these things?

Welcome to the forum.

 

Yours may be a Clutch Pack problem.

 

It is a different thing we area talking about,  as i understand the conditions it happens in,

it is going along at about 6 mph or there about for a fair distance,

it wants to be in 2nd, but goes doing to 1st, and you need to just get it right, and the speed to stay in 2nd.

[matthab]

Thanks, i was assuming they had uprated the clutch packs at some point. Ive asked Seat to Contact me as my car has just slipped out of warranty (I do have an extened thoe). Hopefully try and confirm its still doing it tonight and book it in again.

[Ootohere]

matthab,

 you will just have to keep at them, they will know what the problem is at SEAT UK,

 maybe just the Workshop doing the work are incompetent.

 

You will have to demand that SEAT have a Specialist Technician look and resolve the problem, possibly a New Gearbox as some vRS owners have had
