DSG @7500 rpm
1 - 14 of 14 Posts
The highest I've seen from mine in ANY mode is 6,680 RPM while datalogging. I'm a little skeptical that you saw 7,500 RPM... unless that's Unitronic's doing, which would be puzzling because a stage 1 motor has no business being at 7,500 RPM anyhow.

What you think the tach is doing and what the motor is actually doing are two different things.
The tach on these cars is slow, sometimes you'll see 7100-7200rpm but I promise you it doesn't shift much above 6500rpm EVER, unless its just overwhelmed with wheelspin in 1st gear.
This shifting is controlled by the mechatronics controller in the DSG, which is not reflashed by anyone. (yet)

What?
Great, so not only is the speedo off, but the tach too? lol... silly VW.
But yeppers, it's mostly during wheel spin, which is while I was still in forgive and let live mode, but then on the highway the other day while in drive mode I "really" needed to move and stepped on it, next thing I saw was red.
I think that the shifting has something to do with torque load and rpm.

you'll find that accurate gauges are less common than you would think. Water temp gauges with H and C, gauges that don't move much unless something is VERY wrong as to lessen the number of dumbfounded car owners who call roadside assist because their oil pressure needle moved from 12 o'clock. Most tachs, speedometers, you name it, are not only inaccurate but also very slow to update. Watch your tach at each DSG shift and compare that to what you hear the motor doing - the tach lags a little even with the quick DSG shifting. Panic stop from 45mph and your speedometer is still falling after the car is static.

Re: (mwwVW)
The DSG shifting is largely affected by engine load. If you modify the specified load you can change how it reacts. Until someone starts flashing the mechatronics unit you're limited on a few things.
This is unfortunate in the US spec R32, as the car is still making power in the UK-spec 6spd car up until 7200rpm. Our cars here are limited to 6500 and you lose a good bit of power up top.
I assure you, however... our code shifts like buttah http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
