Ive got a golf gti dsg and I have discovered that when I use it for a few weeks doing short runs that involves traffic and normal driving i.e. not having a blast, then after a while the 'box can display the symptoms described. After a good blast on the motorway involving some drop downs hard acceleration then it goes back to being super smooth. This can all be done within confines of the law, just use slip roads to accelerate when joining and make use of quiet motorways.

 

The software is constantly adapting to similar driving patterns and driving styles - I good stretch of the legs and a variation to the norm seems to really help.

 

Ive had other conventional auto's in the past (BMW) and they all behave in a similar way.

 

Sounds possible for me as my commute is mostly 20mph or under (speed limited)

Update:

Had my car at the retailer, they had it for at couple of days and sent data to service hq, and the answer was that the clutch had to be replaced.

Got the clutch replaced for a couple of weeks ago, but the car behaves just the same. The car will be in for service in 3000km, will see if the have any other ideas..
