Annoying dsg selector display

[Paul Holmes]

Is it just me or is the display impossible to see from drivers seat ?

You get used to it and don't need to look

 

[Paul Holmes]

Changing mine to correct side

Oh......

Only had mine a week, didn't like it at first but used to it already.

 

[Loz]

Never look at it tbh

Finally got the hang of it - never noticed you get a beep when in reverse until last week ha

It’s wrong in the t6, should be like the VW cars maybe they bother with a rhd version?

Also sport mode should enable with a pull down then back up, slide across then it can be sport and manual select gears again like the cars

 

[Paul Holmes]

My thoughts exactly

I’m sure it was the same on the T5? They’re not going to change it for us, we’re not an important enough market to bother retooling. You get used to knowing where they all are anyway, I don’t even look.

Manufacturers don't seem to have adopted a standard shift direction for manually changing auto boxes. In a BMW you pull back to change up, push forward to change down. It's opposite way round on a VW.

The former is the way it was developed on race and rally cars when sequential boxes first appeared. It means your not fighting against the front and rear G forces when shifting. ie accelerating hard, getting pushed into your seat, you pull the shifter back in same direction. Under braking your pushing forward to change down as your getting shoved into your harness straps.

Not that there's much pushing and shoving going on in my T6 nowadays but the principles still the same.
