DSG Remap , DSG Tuning

I can offer both DSG Tuning and Engine Tuning upon request.

After a while some people tend to get bored with their car and will want to start improving the performance and make some modifications to their cars. Some people will want tuning , other will want styling. Those that want tuning will always try to push their car to the limits in order to achieve better performance, a better driving experience, a bit more adrenaline.

As we know there are quite a few modifications that can be done to an engine in order to achieve better performance, and once you have started tuning your engine on a car with DSG gearbox, sometimes you will also want more from your gearbox. There is not much you can change on a manual gearbox without splitting it apart, but on the DSG field there are new possibilities.

Many modifications can be made to the software inside the DSG Gearbox (actually in the software of the Mechatronic unit) in order to have a better car. Some of the most common DSG Tuning that can be done:

- Custom D and S program
- Increased Torque limiter
- Torque capacity upgrade to 450-500Nm
- Quiker Shifting time
- Max. shifting RPM
- Less unwanted use of 1st gear
- Raised downshift rpm
- Deactivation of automatic up-shift in M
- Modified gear ratio control for longer gears
- Paddle activation
- Modified launch control rpm
- Disable Kick Down in M-Mode

- Indivdual calibration of the shifting maps in D- or S- Mode

And many more individual settings.

In order to achieve the best out of your DSG Remap software I would need to know if your car is remapped and if possible to provide the remap for me. If this is not possible you might experience clutch slipping because of overboost or because the boos is built up to fast for the DSG to clamp.

If you need any DSG tuning file please contact me by mail at jaxelos @ gmail.com and will see what can be done for you.

DSG 02E Advanced ID, DSG6 DQ250 VCDS Advanced ID

Most people send me questions regarding what mechatronic units will fit into their cars and in order to be able to answer to this questions I need to know the ID of the current unit installed in the car.

Here you can see how to get a proper Advanced ID of the DSG6 Mechatronic unit using VCDS from Ross Tech.

This information is necessary to determine the proper software that needs to be flashed on a mechatronic unit in case you want to change mechatronic units.
I will later post same procedure with VAS and VCP.

Flashing / Programming DSG7 DQ200 Mechatronic unit 0AM927769D using VAS

Short video on how to flash the DSG7 0AM927769D DQ200 mechatronic units with wet clutch using VAS 5054. This units can be found on many DSG7 cars and are mostly sold blank so you will need to flash them with the correct software before installing them in the car.
This video is added by request from many users. If you want me to add other videos , let me know what would you like to see and I will do my best to add it.



I ALWAYS recommend VAS head for flashing and VAS , Odis or VCP for slashing SGO files. 

.....
VAS Is no longer such a good idea for flashing as it is very old and only compatible with Windows XP and Windows 7 , so I recommend using ODIS.

Changing DSG Solenoids

Here is how to change the DSG Solenoids on a Mechatronic unit from the DSG 6 02E DQ250

Cleaning DSG 6 Mechatronic unit

Here below is one of my old videos while I dismantled and put back together the DQ250 Mechatronic unit.
Some more videos will come soon. This was a defective unit and I have made the video just for documentation.
It was a long long time time ago :)

 

DSG 02E Gearbox Recommendations

DSG it is pretty strong in terms of mechanics , If you want to keep your DSG gearbox in good condition I would recommend the following :

- Changing oil before the 60.000km indicated in the book (I recommend 40-45.000km as the gearbox is very sensitive about oil quality and you can never drain it all)
- Do not overheat the car and do not push it to its limits when HOT.
- Keep the engine in good working condition (smallest problems can influence how the gearbox changes and reacts).
- Once in a while check the rear wheel bearings on the rear wheels (they have the ABS rings built in) and if you feel they are noisy change them.
- Do not drive with the car in water that can go above your DSG connector on the gearbox.
- Keep the engine room clean and once in a while (every 2-3 years) clean all the earth connections in the engine bay.
- Check your fuel filter for oil residues and change it regularly. (On some engines the vacuum pump tends to leak oil)
- Check the condition of the DMF and if it's noisy or it has play, change it before it damages the clutches, drive shafts.
- Check Cooling fluid level regularly and if it drops below level and you can not see where the water goes, check gearbox oil for contamination. DSG oil coolers tend to break and oil contamination will occur.

- Check your Engine Mounts and Gearbox Mount , worn mounts can cause discomfort when changing gears, cause "clank" noises and so long.

About DSG Gearboxes

"A direct-shift gearbox (German: Direkt-Schalt-Getriebe[1]), commonly abbreviated to DSG, is an electronically controlled dual-clutch multiple-shaft manual gearbox, in a transaxle design – without a conventional clutch pedal, and with full automatic,or semi-manual control. The first actual dual-clutch transmissions derived from Porsche in-house development for 962 racing cars in the 1980s.

In simple terms, a DSG is two separate manual gearboxes (and clutches), contained within one housing, and working as one unit. It was designed by BorgWarner, and was initially licensed to the Volkswagen Group, with support by IAV GmbH.By using two independent clutches,a DSG can achieve faster shift times,and eliminates the torque converter of a conventional epicyclic automatic transmission." - From Wikipedia

    I have decided to dedicated the whole site to the VAG DSG Gearboxes and Mechatronic units. Information will be added graduate or upon request. You will also be able to find here DSG DQ250 Gearbox manuals, DSG Repair Manuals, DSG Pressure Control Valves information and many other things related to the DSG Mechatronic units and gearboxes.

    If you need DSG Mechatronic Solenoid / Valve take a look in the VAG DSG Gearbox section.
    Standard and custom software for the 02E DQ250 DSG 6 gearbox and DQ200 DSG 7 gearboxes also available upon request.
