Re: GBOL & DSG Gearbox
Someone earlier in the thread commented they thought their IAM observer wouldn't be keen on them using sport mode or keeping the revs up around 4k. I can't speak for IAM but at RoSPA that'd be positively encouraged so long as it wasn't needless (eg 5,000rpm in 1st around town). I always tell my ass...

Re: GBOL & DSG Gearbox
The DSG sees things very simply, and it isn't psychic. It can guess, based on various tables and your current inputs, but it can't always be correct. When you hit the brake, are you planning to come to a complete stop or just momentarily hesitating while getting ready to floor it? Or maybe you're j...

Re: GBOL & DSG Gearbox
Sorry to bump this, but it caught my eye over Christmas and I then promptly forgot about it for a while. :hit: OP, have you made the same mistake I did when I got my first DSG? You talk about losing speed before a hazard, but then talk about the box not being in the correct gear in time. That leads ...

Merry Christmas everyone

I've been quiet on this forum for some time, but there's no denying I've learnt a lot from it since passing my Gold and I've also been lucky to have met some nice people through it so far. So, in the spirit of the season I wanted to stick...

Re: Live Fast, Drive Hard - My RoSPA Diary
It was my group who suggested the diploma as something to work towards, as it's something they'd be willing to pay for.

Re: Live Fast, Drive Hard - My RoSPA Diary
Thanks again. My group want me to continue on and do the diploma and become an observer so that'll keep the momentum going, hopefully.
