I have recently acquired a brand new Passat GT 170 dsg and have experienced some problems with the DSG gearbox. It sometimes is reluctant to kick down, leaving the car somewhat droning. Also experienced on a couple of occasions that when selecting either 'drive' or 'reverse' it still sits in neutral. The only way to clear it is to restart the engine. Is this a software fault, and if so, is there any update ?

Take it back and complain
DSG= Don't Select Gears

Wow, that sounds unfortuante. The stories against DSG are really mounting. I'm kinda glad that I couldn't get one now. Dodged a bit of a bullet as it were.
Mind you, it is good that VAG have taken the lead to develop this technology. No doubt they'll get it right eventually.

Hope a software update cures your probs.
