Rattle from DSG when changing down gears

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone could shed some light on this. It’s most noticeable on a cold morning. I drive up to 3rd or 4th gear, then when I lift off the accelerator, this strange rattle happens, stops when it shifts down a gear, then happens again before the gear changes down again. After a few miles (or it heats up) the noise goes away. It only happens after lifting off the throttle. It also seems to hold the car back a bit, like how you’d intentionally slow the car down using a manual transmission. It’s a 1.6L DSG.

I had it in with Skoda, they changed the mechatronics but the noise is still there. I brought it back to them but they said all they can do is strip the gearbox and go looking for a problem which is something I can’t really afford at the moment, seeing as it’s already cost €1400 and the noise is still there.

Any input would be very appreciated!

Thanks
