So my wife has a 2015 Audi A3 S-tronic and I have a 2016 VW GTI with DSG. I previously owned a 2010 VW GTI with DSG.
My question is: are the s-tronic and DSG transmissions the same? Exactly the same?
I ask because all my searches seem to suggest that they are exactly the same but both my old and new GTI DSG transmissions are very... rough/jerky. At first I thought this was just how it was with these dual clutch transmissions but now that my wife has an Audi A3 I notice how extremely smooth her transmission is! It's like night and day!
The best example of the difference between her S-tronic and my DSG is when slowing down to a stop. When my DSG shifts from 3rd to 2nd there is a noticeable engine breaking. So much so that I need to release the brake pedal to compensate for the engine breaking otherwise it jerks your head forward. With my wife's S-tronic, it feels the same as a sluchbox... smooth all the way to a stop. No need to modulate the brake pedal to keep a consistent deceleration.
Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.
