I have this exact same issue where my 2nd gear could red line and I have to come off the accelerator and come back on for it to almost ‘recalibrate’ and change the gear. For me it seemed to happen on a hill going up or downhill

Re: DSG sticking in 2nd gear
Did anyone end up getting to the bottom of this?

I'm curious if the matter was ever resolved or did you end up selling the car?Armstrong21490 wrote: Fri Jun 03, 2022 6:51 pm Thats a good idea. I never thought of that, will have a look into it now.

Reading the OP’s post dated 4th November 2023 (10th post on page 2 of this discussion topic), they no longer have the car - it was taken back by the finance company (VWFS?).OomStu_ZA wrote: Sat Sep 05, 2026 11:51 amI'm curious if the matter was ever resolved or did you end up selling the car?Armstrong21490 wrote: Fri Jun 03, 2022 6:51 pm Thats a good idea.
