DSG not farting anymore and it ain't Beano!

[greatoz]

or bueno, whatever. been a while gang, work's nuts and I haven't had must time to post.

Long story short, FBO 15 GTI and this morning the car stopped farting. What's more, it does it ECS on, ECS reduced, or ECS OFF. ambient temps low 60's F. also the DSG is shifting a LOT "softer" for lack of a better way to say it.

no codes, either.

weirdest thing this week...anyone else have any similar experiences?

It has been mentioned to have DSG fluid level checked.

good suggestion. that said, i had the DSG serviced last month and it was farting / shifting fine after the service. i'll have it checked again BUT this doesn't seem a likely culprit? not with a service < 30 days ago...

How many miles?
Must be over 40,000 if you had DSG service.

Ran out of gas?

Seriously, I don't think I've ever heard mine fart.

Dude I've been having the same issue. Feels like I'm under-boosting and the shifts are soft. I just got my 60k service and it feels a little better, but still weird.

Don't own a DSG but maybe you should try an DSG adaptation. Maybe it's beginning to go...

If you have a VAGCOM and have updated it to the latest, you should be able to do an adaptation from home and the latest version..

Good, DSG farts are stupid sounding and annoying no offense, I just don't like them. I know everyone else does...

Depends on exhaust setup sometimes

I have full TBE (APR catted DP and CTS resonated CB).....and I don't get any farts

My MK6 was USP DP with Borla CB and it had booming farts. Sounded like a backfire almost

Both cars Stg 2

A tuned car will fart more than a stock one for sure

It doesn't just stop. Who changed your fluid? Was it a dealer?

Do the relearn procedure for all your DSG settings in VAGCOM. You're welcome .

Do you have the adaptation procedure? I was looking for it online but couldn't really find it.

There is like 7 or 8 of them total if you go into Auto Trans and select "Basic setting" you will see these 4 settings that need to be reset...

-Calibration of synchro-points
-Reset clutch characteristic curve
-Resetting of all adaptation values
-Start double clutch fast adaptation

Your transmission fluid must be between 30-100°C to complete these procedures too. I had this exact same issue too a few weeks back and it makes a night a day difference... farting on every shift again lol. Really improves lockup, the reason its likely not "farting" on an upshift is because the clutches are slipping slightly. If you have the Performance Package, make sure you reset your VAQ diff calibration while you're at it too.
