The IE DSG Tune for your Audi B8/B8.5 S4/S5 3.0T delivers increased power, higher RPM limit, faster shifts, optimized shift points, adjustable launch control and additional transmission performance features when paired with a matching ECU tune.
We are very excited to show a sneak peak at our upcoming DSG controller! After a few months of development we have our first unit in hand for testing! This little guy will make it possible to use the VW/Audi DQ250 DSG transmission in any car using a standalone ECU that has CANbus capabilities. We will be doing initial testing using the Megasquirt ECU in our project Corrado. The Corrado will feature an ABA 16vt using the very versatile and robust Mitsubishi Evo 10 turbocharger, custom short runner intake, DSG transmission and some other tasty bits. We have partnered with our friends over at JRM Fabrication to develop transmission swap components such as transmission mounts for the VW mk1/2 chassis, which will eventually be available for purchase! Stay tuned for more updates on this new product as well as our build on the Corrado.
A class-action lawsuit alleges the problem occurs in the 2010-2014 Audi S4, S5, S6, S7, and RS5 vehicles.
Audi DSG (direct-shift gearbox) transmission problems have caused a lawsuit that alleges 2010-2014 Audi S4, S5, S6, S7 and RS5 vehicles are defective.
Audi Dsg Vs Tiptronic Transmission
The class action says the DSG transmissions cause sudden rough shaking and violent jerking when drivers accelerate and shift into 2nd, 3rd or 4th gear. The lawsuit also alleges the vehicles shudder and judder when a driver slows down.
The plaintiffs further claim the direct-shift gearbox transmissions hesitate during acceleration, surge while driving and experience rough downshifts when drivers decelerate and accelerate.
According to the lawsuit, the vehicles are too dangerous to drive, especially due to the allegedly sudden acceleration and deceleration problems.
In addition, the plaintiffs claim Audi knew about the transmission problems but continued to sell and lease the vehicles without informing customers about the issues.
The DSG class action references technical service bulletins (TSBs) related to the transmissions, with one bulletin that admitted customers were complaining about “[c]lacking or knocking noises.” However, the TSB said that “[s]uch noises cannot be avoided and are normal.”
Another TSB was issued to dealers in July 2013 that talked about “[r]ough gear changes, both when accelerating and when slowing down” and “rough driving power disruption[s].” The bulletin went on to tell dealers that “sporadic driving power disruptions” were “normal, and these issues will decrease over time.”
Another transmission TSB recommended that Audi dealers use an “improved circuit board for the mechatronics unit.”
All four named plaintiffs claim their DSG transmissions suffered from problems, with three of the Audi owners alleging they took the vehicles to dealerships but had no transmission repairs or replacements that fixed the issues.
The Audi DSG transmission lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California - Mandani, et al., v. Volkswagen Group of America, Inc., et al.
