It's disappointing that VAG coupled the 1.4TSI twin charger with the low output as it greatly limits the possibilities to optimize for performance. A Dutch tuning firm JD Engineering confirms there's def. a limit on the gearbox. Much more than ~300Nm and the dry clutch starts to smoke.

Dangerous hesitation in selecting it's gear between 0-8mph.Also continual snatching changing up at low speeds 0-10mph, and when slowing down from 20mph to 8mph and then hitting the accelerator pedal there is hesitation and the usual snatch. Audi claim this is a Production normality- I say it's a production abnormality ! I cannot get any further with this problem. This gearbox in my opinion has not been tested thoroughly prior to launch. Can anyone help me ? Since day 1, my DSG box has been extremely disappointing.
