Not sure what's up. I had the 'plus" DSG tune which behaved well for a few years, now that I'm out of warranty I switched over this spring and turned off auto upshift.
Auto-upshift is definitely "off"... In that if I just mat it from first or second it usually hits fuel cut and doesn't upshift. But not always. Sometimes it shifts by itself. More often than not, this means I'm also hitting the paddle, and getting a double-upshift, which is infuriating and just kills acceleration. I've nearly spun out because of the weight transfer mid-corner.
Launch control seems to auto upshift every time, which is annoying but at least predictable, but after that it seems incredibly random.
Maybe(?) unrelated, but I also have odd behavior now occasionally when manually downshifting from 6th to 5th (normal highway pass or slowing down for an exit). Revs will drop all the way towards 1k rpm before popping back up and downshifting much slower than expected.
DSG service was done 10k miles early at 30k, now have just under 50k on the clock. Have been running this tune for about 5-7k miles I think.
I'm not getting any slipping under load so I don't think it's wearing clutches or anything like that. Could be mechatronics I guess for the second one but the upshift is definitely programming.
