Did anyone end up getting to the bottom of this?

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

I'm curious if the matter was ever resolved or did you end up selling the car?

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?).
