Dsg Basic Settings and adaptation with OBD Eleven

[Stefan_Siarzewski]

Hi all. Looking for someone to help me with diagnosing my dsg issue. First thing in the morning I get slight slip in 1st and reverse and it disappears after a few minutes of driving. Also there is a distinct judder when reaching motorway cruising speed around 60-70. Gear changes are smooth and there is no noises nor rattles. Car mileage is 70k, and it was serviced accordingly.  I was told to try reset Dsg to Basic settings and perform adaptation. I have Obd Eleven which doesn't return any fault codes live nor stored ones. Any advice greatly appreciated. 

Thanks

@Stefan_Siarzewski The car might have been serviced regularly, is it the DSG that has been Serviced accordingly, so at 40,000 miles per the Service Schedule / Guidelines or at anytime during its life?

 

An Oil change early might be in order as well as a reset.  Or is whoever saying to reset saying no Oil Change required?

Hi thanks for your reply, and no i can't be sure if the DSG was ever serviced, no one told me not to change it and I'm more than happy to give it whatever it needs, I went through my service book to double check last main dealer stamp is @ 59k and the last one the car was serviced by previous owner himself but doesn't say anywhere DSG got serviced. Just looking around for kind advice, from what I have seen most of the ppl just drain old Oil, replace the filter,pump 6 liters of the fresh oil in, start the engine let it run For a while, go through all the gears when oil is up to correct temp and then let the excess drain on running engine. But I still don't know how to perform Basic Settings reset. Is it sth that can be DIY'd or should I seek a trusted garage?

Based on this thread, OBDeleven might not be suitable for DSG adaptions as a MK5 Golf should be similar to a '09 Superb: https://forum.obdeleven.com/thread/1127/dsg-adaptation-re-calibration-capability

 

Things may have changed but it's worth asking on the OBDeleven forums as they should know what the tool can or cannot do

It's also honestly not worth trying to service the DSG yourself, the fluids and filter alone are around £120 and a decent independant specialist will do the whole job for around £150.

Needs servicing ever 40k miles, so yours should have been done a long time ago and is nearly due it's second.

You may be right. I will just look around for a garage. Thanks.
