750ft elevation in Wisconsin. I’ll switch to 2.01 today and give it a couple days to adjust before I judge the difference. Should I do another DSG default with the map change or no?That’s very strange indeed. Elevation or no? Let us know if reverting to 2.01 helps.
i was the oppposite. first thing i noticed on 2.51 is the throttle seemed extra touchy when taking off. no one else seemed to have that problem so i didn't mention anything until i saw someone else bring it up. ed sent me a beta tune file yesterday to test out and it felt much betterI wonder how much of this (if any), is just cognitive bias? People who just read about something, and then are "feeling" something just because they're expecting to. Not saying that is the case here, but you see it all the time in other places in this hobby.
"I can totally feel my car being quicker after installing an intake!"
"I accidentally put in 87, and can tell the throttle feels less snappy!"
Etc, etc...
Good to know that Ed is trying to fix it. The touchy throttle response is when im taking off also.i was the oppposite. first thing i noticed on 2.51 is the throttle seemed extra touchy when taking off. no one else seemed to have that problem so i didn't mention anything until i saw someone else bring it up. ed sent me a beta tune file yesterday to test out and it felt much better
2019 GTI SE DSG, with your Stage 1 93 and your TCU tune as well.What year/model? The downshift points are set mostly by pedal angle, so this does not make sense either. It should take the same amount of pedal travel as before to cause a downshift.
No need for another dsg reset.750ft elevation in Wisconsin. I’ll switch to 2.01 today and give it a couple days to adjust before I judge the difference. Should I do another DSG default with the map change or no?
Are you a MT as well? This beta change is only for MT cars. 2019 GTI DSG cars might be just a slight hair more sensitive on 2.51, but barely at all.Good to know that Ed is trying to fix it. The touchy throttle response is when im taking off also.
Nope DSG, but I'll drive it around. I think I've put at least 500 miles on 2.51 so far at least.Are you a MT as well? This beta change is only for MT cars. 2019 GTI DSG cars might be just a slight hair more sensitive on 2.51, but barely at all.
You guys do have to remember, however, that on initial reset/reflash, the throttle does start out very sensitive, but should adapt within a few miles.

Just want to point out that despite those concerns with the slow downshift and and KR, I am not having the same issue as others with the throttle sensitivity.Are you a MT as well?

This sounds like an adaption issue to me.Just want to point out that despite those concerns with the slow downshift and and KR, I am not having the same issue as others with the throttle sensitivity.
Sounds good. I'll log some more miles and reach back out if problem persists.This sounds like an adaption issue to me.

I'm also on the beta 6MT update since this morning and my car has never felt so direct and yet linear and smooth, and the issue I was having with throttle blips at low speed is gone. Feels fantastic, couldn't be happier.I’m so confused haha, I saw all the rave reviews and upgraded from 2.50 (6MT, Stage 2 OTS) a few days ago and have had pretty much the exact opposite experience as most others – having never had any problems on previous versions driving at slow speeds, I now find it’s quite jerky, with odd surges of power (that I don’t get higher up in the revs). And when I blip the throttle in first with the clutch in (which I do a lot in stop and go traffic in NYC to keep it smooth if I’m rolling slowly and am about to let the clutch pedal out) then the revs jump super high – a tiny blip that used to take it to about 1100 now takes it up to 2000, and you can see there’s a kind of second automated blip happening after my foot has come off the throttle, which wasn’t there at all with 2.50. Also finding the throttle pedal much more sensitive than it was before... I feel like I’m having to be super cautious with my right foot so the car doesn’t take off like a scolded cat whenever I give a little gas, haha, so weird. I’ll keep re-learning how to drive my car for a few days and hopefully I’ll get used to it, otherwise I guess I’ll go back to 2.50. Anyone else experiencing anything like this, or am I losing it...?
