How to Factory Reset DSG Automatic Gearbox || A Must Do For a Used Car!

In this video, I explain how you can factory reset your DSG automatic gearbox. This is especially important if you bought a used car and you are not satisfied with the learned behavior of the automatic shifting from the previous owner of the car. When you do a factory reset, the DSG will come with the settings as from the factory and will start learning from your own preference rather than having it learned from the previous car owner.
This sometimes also helps resolve minor issues with the DSG gearbox and the car is not jerking anymore. It shifts gears much smoother after the factory reset. DIY #DSG #Automatic #Reset

[@UnboxingSve]

In short, read the comment. In long, watch the video for more details and tips :) 1. Car must be on park position with handbrake 2. Press the gas all the way down 3. Put the key and start the ignition while still pressing the foot on the gas 4. Wait for around 30s 5. Now turn the ignition off, but don't release the gas 6. Wait for 20s more on the gas 7. Now you can remove the key and go out of the car 8. Lock the car 9. Unlock the car and do a test drive for the new experience! Buy some VW parts on Amazon :) - amzn.to/3Sktael

[@MegaHollywood1971]

That is just how the Factory TCU shifts gears when you are not on the gas pedal. It does that for MPG. If you accelerate with at least 50% throttle it would shift at a higher point. Nice to know you can reset the settings this way though, instead of using a VCDS or OBDII device.

[@UnboxingSve]

Yes, agree with you for the gas, more gas it will shift in higher RPM. But this factory reset helps it shifts more "normal" maintaining lower gas.

[@x2squared]

I have an older DSG without eco mode so it will shift 1 gear per 10km that's normal. It will automatically relearn your driving patterns after a few kms so you need to be consistent with your foot on the gas, more pressure on "D" will mean higher rpm. The important thing is to not treat it like a conventional automatic and help it to better predict your next move.

[@UnboxingSve]

[@alexandrunicolae9460]

It seems to me that the car shifts in the same manner as before doing this “adaptation”. Shifting gears fast, is actually a good thing. It means less fuel consumpltion. On my 2010 cc, this procedure does absolutely nothing, tried it so many times, and absolutely nothing happends.

I put that in the video, it still sometimes shift early but definitely not earlier than before. Of curse everything depends how hard you are pressing the acceleration but I tried to simulate the same conditions. If I push it harder it will shift between 2 and 3k and if you put gas pedal all the way to the end it will go and shift all the way to the red line. One thing is sure, this process definitely helps your car shifts better.

[@UnboxingSve]

It is to check the tyre pressure. One tire was deflated a bit, once you put them all on the same pressure you can reset this and this disappears. Which I actually did later that day :) Check all tire pressure, inflate which one is below required pressure, and press reset button and this indicator will disappear. It depends from car to car where this button is, on the older car it is usually in the glove box, on the newer models you can reset it on the touch screen.

Could be throttle adaption, but for me, and many it was very helpful.

Hey I’m American and thinking of trading my car for a tdi Passat with 118k miles or 189k km, do you think it would be worth it even with the timing belt needing done soon? Thank you.

[@UnboxingSve]

I was thinking in USA they don`t drive diesel cars :D Which model is passat? 190km is not that much if it is mainly from the highway and if the maintenance was good. Make sure to plug it in and check for any computer errors and check with a mechanic for any leakes.

@@UnboxingSve Diesel cars are not common here and I’ve only seen acouple lol. That said I want something with good gas mileage but that’s not boring like a Prius so I figure hey why not lol. It’s a b7 sel premium passat with the 2.0 tdi.

@the general the b7 is really just a b6.5 (for some reason in this generation they called the mid life face lift a new model). I had the b6 for about 4 years and 300k km. During that time the car left me stranded twice as the electric park break motors on the two rear wheels failed, a common issue due to some plastic housing that gets damaged and allows dirt and water to enter. Other than that the window regulator of the drivers window failed. The 2.0tdi are known to have some injector issues, but that is common to most diesels. Service history is a must, as is regular oil and filter changes, that is the key to long life of any diesel engine. In general they are a spacious comfortable cruiser, don't expect sporty handling. A few rattles and squeaks, and some of the textured rubber coating that is on the plastics can peal from common touch points like light and window switches. If you want a bit more get up and go, then the 2.0tdi is very tuneable for extra torque which makes it a nice lazy drive where you can leave it in 3rd (if it's a manual) from 20 through 60 if you want, just remember if you do tune it, there will be more smoke from your dirty diesel. All in all they are a good solid car

I just bought a used 2019 passat 1.8L turbo with mileage 5000 km. It is great to hear of passat travelling nearly 200,000 km as the impression in Asia is dsg and vw speed sensor always give trouble. Asians also don't travel that much and usually change to newer car. Cheers.

Passats go upto 500.000 km when well maintained
