02E Basic Settings Tips

Sometimes the DSG will start chaning badly up or down, you will feel that it is jerky or some other strange things and noises you are not used with and you will think that disaster has hit you. It is not always the case.

Before you jump to any conclusion regarding your "defective" DSG6 02E Gearbox, I recommend you to do the following things.

• Change your Oil and Oil Filter in the transmission.
• Check all your ABS sensors
• Make sure your ENGINE runs fine and you do not have any problems with fueling, spark plugs, fuel filter ... well, you know all the stuff that make an engine run :)
• Check your engine mounts , gearbox mounts and the pendulum mount under the car.
• Check all the other things I mentioned in my previous post 

 If all this is OK then perform a basic settings to on the transmission using VCDS or VAS.

The procedure can be found on Ross Tech website and I will not list it here.

I just want to point out a few things here. Before you start basic settings pay attention on the software version of your unit.

As example here the software NUMBER / VERSION on this unit is 1814:

When you arrive at the step that is saying :  "Clutch Adaptation Control Module Software Version < xxxx"
If  your software version is over 0800 , you don't need to perform Group 62 , just SKIP this step and go to the next Group which is Group 067.

Now when the basic settings are complete in order to achieve best results you will have to drive in Manual mode until CLUTCH 1 and CLUTCH 2 have learned the clamping point AT LEAST 10 TIMES EACH !!!

Ross Teech does not specify this, but in order to achieve this you must drive in Manual mode at CONSTANT SPEED (do not use cruise control) on each CLUTCH for at least 10-15 seconds.
What does this mean.

Lets's say you start driving and you are in 3'rd gear.

1. Keep constant speed with RPM between 2000 and 3000 RPM for at least 10-15 Seconds.
When this is achieved, change up to 4th gear and repeat
2.In 4th gear, drive at constant speed , constant RPM (2000-3000 rpm) for 10-15 Seconds.
3. Change either UP or DOWN and again drive at constant speed / rpm for 10-15 seconds.
4. Repeat step 3.

Learning clamp point must be done in 3-4-5-6 gear and the clutches must change at least 20 times between odd and even gears (10 times per clutch).
This way you will achieve the best results.
