Hello everyone! We are talking about DSG👇🏻
You often ask us:
Is it worth remapping the transmission? 🕹 Do you need to remap the DSG when remapping the engine and what does it give? Is it worth remapping the transmission if you are generally satisfied with its operation?
We answer: Yes, it is worth it!
Let's figure it out!
The thing is that when operating a car on factory software, there is a certain balance and you feel comfortable driving. When you remap the engine to a Stage, the operation of the transmission will not be the same at all. The increased torque and power create the impression that the transmission "does not keep up," "lags," "shifts harder at medium RPMs under partial load," "tries to shift up even when logically it shouldn't."
Let's consider the example of the popular DSG on the Octavia A7:
The DSG7 DQ200 transmission has a number of software limitations on torque, which need to be removed during any tuning.
What does the company Etuners offer?
1. A clear strategy for gear selection, the tachometer needle follows the pedal, shifts occur logically, gear selection happens on time and at the moment you expect it, both up and down, including during an active driving style. In a calm mode during linear movement, the transmission will select the optimal gear for fuel economy.
2. Performance options: a custom solution for each case. Up to 30% faster shifts in full load modes (including a special mode for reducing torque during shifting). Faster reactions to the selector movement for upshifting or downshifting, quicker response to the paddles. Faster gear selection when sharply pressing the gas.
3. Extending the life of the transmission mechanisms: by optimizing the shifting processes, shifts occur up to 20% less frequently, the 1st gear remains engaged at low speeds, lower clutch temperatures. Reducing preload when lightly pressing the brake pedal when the car is stationary, in most cases we do not press the brake all the way and the preload is maintained.
4. Other options: The ability to adjust engine braking, the ability to adjust clutch slip when driving at low speeds.
What do you get out of it? - you receive comfortable and elastic operation in all driving modes with a pleasant response to the pedal and predictable behavior both in calm and active driving modes. As well as a lot of additional improvements that are not offered from the factory=)
We hope the information was useful to you, Etuners devotes a significant amount of time to software development, and we always take into account your wishes for refinement and comfortable operation specifically on your car! If you have any questions left — you can always ask them in the comments or write to us in private messages.
We remind you: there is a 20% discount on a one-time remap of the engine and transmission💥
