Even weer terug naar de les heren, hoewel ik overigens een warm voorstander ben van off/topic uitstapjes So on the way home from work today (usually ~14km) I took the 55km route! lol I spent a decent amount of time playing around with the throttle in the various DSG modes. I've been becoming familiar with the D mode, with it's many "moods", to the amount of throttle that you can apply before you kick down a gear or two. What I like about the M mode is that it doesn't matter HOW QUICKLY you push the pedal to 100% throttle, as long as you don't go past the resistance point at the 100% throttle position, you won't hit the physical kick down switch. It makes me wonder, in all the complaints about the DSG and how you can't accelerate without it kicking down and all that, whether most people actually know that there is a physical kick down switch BEYOND the position of 100% / WOT. Anyway - it makes it quite enjoyable once you realise where 100% is and find that resistance position, as you can then do torquey 80 to 100 acceleration in 5th, rather than powery 80 to 100 acceleration in 3rd which automatically occurs if you hit the kickdown button. Also, after comments that Dave_R made a while back, I tried S mode whilst the cruise control was active. Doing 80km/h along a major 80km/h road, it was extremely amusing how THE MOMENT you touch the accelerator it drops a gear immediately. But that's just from the lightest of touches. Any more than a light touch and it drops two or three, depending on how far you push the accelerator... awesome WOT= Way of travel dwz. de physieke mate van intrappen ( sorry, induwen) van het acceleratiepedaal ( we leren allemaal) Hrt meest interessant van deze observatie vind ik, dat er bij de DSG automaat kennelijk 2 manieren van snel accellereren zijn: de maximale koppelmethode, 100 % WOT de maximale vermogensmethode met de physieke kickdownschakelaar (110 % WOT) ingeschakeld. (ik ga nog wel even met een spiegeltje onder mijn vermogens pedaal kijken, wat zich daar allemaal afspeelt, sommigen brengen daar een kunstofblokje met nauwkeurig gespecificeerde afmetingen aan om de schakelaar, op een goedkope, begrijpelijke manier, uit te schakelen)
