4. Reprogramming Really Needed?
1.Tuned Vehicles
2. stock Vehic
les
3. Full Re-programming
1. TUNED VEHICLES
Most tuning companies still claim that DSG software upgrades are not needed for
tuned vehicles. Often
tricks are being used to disable DSG torque intervention commands or engine torque
calculations are
manipulated to stay within factory margins and avoid DSG torque limitations. All
these types of incorrect
ECU adjustments along with stock DSG software will in almost any case result in:
•
Excessive clutch wear
•
Shifting problems
•
Potential performance loss
•
Gearbox breakdown (eventually)
The explanation is simple: the functioning of the DSG transmission strongly depends
on real-time engine
running parameters received through the CAN bus. Without receiving correct data
from the engine, the
transmission control unit (TCU) initial calculations will be incorrect (or limited)
resulting in serious
problems.
Initially no issues might be noticed, but after a period of learning incorrect
adaption values and increased
wear (due to increased slip) the clutch will breakdown. Besides all the risks of
excessive wear and
breakdown, the DSG needs to be reprogrammed to perfectly match the new engine
characteristics. In other
words matching shifting strategies, modified shifting speeds and increased torque
capacity and oil
pressures will be needed to fully utilize the vehicles performance potential!

So YES, after tuning an engine, the DSG software have to be reprogrammed as well!
2. STOCK VEHICLES
Many stock VAG equipped DSG vehicles suffer from factory drivability issues.
Extremely poor shifting
strategies which don't match stock engine characteristics properly resulting in too
early shifting at low load
and too late shifting at high load. Other examples are:
•
Irresponsive shifting strategies
•
Vibrations
•
Hesitations
•
Slow shifting responses
Unsmooth take-off
TVS DSG software upgrades are certainly not only needed for tuned vehicles.
Basically all VAG DSG
transmissions will strongly benefit from a TVS Drivability upgrade which truly
transforms the performance
of a vehicle and even massively increases the drivetrain lifespan due reduced
flywheel, clutch and gearbox
wear! Certain models need special attention, some of them are listed below:
•
All VAG DQ200 transmissions
•
DQ250 TDI CR, R32, R36 transmissions
•
DQ500 T5/T6 2.0 TDI
•
DL382, DL501 2.0 TDI
•
DQ380, DQ381 2.0 TDI & TSI
So YES, also stock vehicles will benefit hugely from TVS DSG software. Don't wait
until problems start
occurring, but upgrade your DSG software as soon as possible to eliminate excessive
wear and massively
reduce the risk of failure.
3. FULL RE-PROGRAMMING
TVS always offers full software solutions instead of only modifying some basic DSG
calibrations. Besides
optimizing, rescaling and adjusting hundreds of maps and variables, based on our
over 15 years of DSG experience
and knowledge, TVS adds or modifies TCU routines to unlock the TCU's full
potential. This cannot be compared to TCU
software updates from the manufacturer or other aftermarket brands.
TVS DSG software upgrades are unique and one of a kind products which can be easily
recognized by TVS unique
boxcodes and initials within the software identification info. Factory calibrations
are always stored in our database and
can be restored at any stage.

4. Reprogramming Really Needed?
1.Tu
ned Vehicles
2. stock Vehic
les
3. Full Re-programming
1. TUNED VEHICLES
Most tuning companies still claim that DSG software upgrades are not needed for
tuned vehicles. Often
tricks are being used to disable DSG torque intervention commands or engine torque
calculations are
manipulated to stay within factory margins and avoid DSG torque limitations. All
these types of incorrect
ECU adjustments along with stock DSG software will in almost any case result in:
•
Excessive clutch wear
•
Shifting problems
•
Potential performance loss
•
Gearbox breakdown (eventually)
The explanation is simple: the functioning of the DSG transmission strongly depends
on real-time engine
running parameters received through the CAN bus. Without receiving correct data
from the engine, the
transmission control unit (TCU) initial calculations will be incorrect (or limited)
resulting in serious
problems.
Initially no issues might be noticed, but after a period of learning incorrect
adaption values and increased
wear (due to increased slip) the clutch will breakdown. Besides all the risks of
excessive wear and
breakdown, the DSG needs to be reprogrammed to perfectly match the new engine
characteristics. In other
words matching shifting strategies, modified shifting speeds and increased torque
capacity and oil
pressures will be needed to fully utilize the vehicles performance potent
ial!
So YES, after tuning an engine, the DSG software have to be reprogrammed as well!
2. STOCK VEHICLES
Many stock VAG equipped DSG vehicles suffer from factory drivability issues.
Extremely poor shifting
strategies which don't match stock engine characteristics properly resulting in too
early shifting at low load
and too late shifting at high load. Other examples are:
•
Irresponsive shifting strategies
•
Vibrations
•
Hesitations
•
Slow shifting responses
Unsmooth take-off
TVS DSG software upgrades are certainly not only needed for tuned vehicles.
Basically all VAG DSG
transmissions will strongly benefit from a TVS Drivability upgrade which truly
transforms the performance
of a vehicle and even massively increases the drivetrain lifespan due reduced
flywheel, clutch and gearbox
wear! Certain models need special attention, some of them are listed below:
•
All VAG DQ200 transmissions
•
DQ250 TDI CR, R32, R36 transmissions
•
DQ500 T5/T6 2.0 TDI
•
DL382, DL501 2.0 TDI
•
DQ380, DQ381 2.0 TDI & TSI
So YES, also stock vehicles will benefit hugely from TVS DSG software. Don't wait
until problems start
occurring, but upgrade your DSG software as soon as possible to eliminate excessive
wear and massively
reduce the risk of failure.
3. FULL RE-PROGRAMMING
TVS always offers full software solutions instead of only modifying some basic DSG
calibrations. Besides
optimizing, rescaling and adjusting hundreds of maps
and variables, based on our over 15 years of DSG experience
and knowledge, TVS adds or modifies TCU routines to unlock the TCU's full
potential. This cannot be compared to TCU
software updates from the manufacturer or other aftermarket brands.
TVS DSG software upgrades are unique and one of a kind products which can be easily
recognized by TVS unique
boxcodes and initials within the software identification info. Factory calibrations
are always stored in our database and
can be restored at any stage.

1. DQ200 DSG (0AM/OCW)
The DQ200 DSG is the first and only 7-speed DSG with a double dry clutch. These
gearboxes are known to
have a lot of issues, especially compared to his predecessor the DQ250.
DQ200 DSG Information:
The DQ200 (0AM) DSG gearbox is a further development on the DQ250 (02E). During the
development of the
DQ200, the main priorities for Volkswagen AG were reducing fuel consumption and
lowering emissions. It
has been especially designed for vehicles with an engine torque up to 250 Nm like
the Polo
, Golf, Passat
and Touran. The DQ200 (0AM) was the first 7-speed DSG gearbox equipped with a dry
double clutch and
mounted transversely at the front.
Without replacing the factory DQ200 software for TVS drivability and life extender
software, clutch damage
will occur! This software is unique on the market and can only be installed at our
headquarter or at one of
our 100+ authorized dealers.

2. DQ250 DSG (02E/0D9)
The DQ250 gearbox is the first dual-clutch transmission introduced by Volkswagen
AG. It is characterized as strong
and reliable, but hardly modified since its introduction in 2003. Therefore it has
various common issues which could be
solved by TVS Engineering / DSG Dokter.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION (DQ250 DSG INFORMATION):
The first DSG transmission, the DQ250 (02E), is introduced in a series-production
car during
the launch of the Golf Mk4 R32 back in 2003. During the design Volkswagen AG
combined
the advantages of manual and automatic transmissions into one completely new
gearbox
generation: the direct shift gearbox (DSG). It has been especially designed for VAG
vehicles
with an engine torque up to 350-380 Nm like the sportier versions of the Golf (GTI
and R
models).

4. Reprogramming Really Needed?
1.Tuned Vehicles
2. stock Vehic
les
3. Full Re-programming
1. TUNED VEHICLES
Most tuning companies still claim that DSG software upgrades are not needed for
tuned vehicles. Often
tricks are being used to disable DSG torque intervention commands or engine torque
calculations are
manipulated to stay within factory margins and avoid DSG torque limitations. All
these types of incorrect
ECU adjustments along with stock DSG software will in almost any case result in:
•
Excessive clutch wear
•
Shifting problems
•
Potential performance loss
•
Gearbox breakdown (eventually)
The explanation is simple: the functioning of the DSG transmission strongly depends
on real-time engine
running parameters received through the CAN bus. Without receiving correct data
from the engine, the
transmission control unit (TCU) initial calculations will be incorrect (or limited)
resulting
in serious
problems.
Initially no issues might be noticed, but after a period of learning incorrect
adaption values and increased
wear (due to increased slip) the clutch will breakdown. Besides all the risks of
excessive wear and
breakdown, the DSG needs to be reprogrammed to perfectly match the new engine
characteristics. In other
words matching shifting strategies, modified shifting speeds and increased torque
capacity and oil
pressures will be needed to fully utilize the vehicles performance potential!
So YES, after tuning an engine, the DSG software have to be reprogrammed as well!
2. STOCK VEHICLES
Many stock VAG equipped DSG vehicles suffer from factory drivability issues.
Extremely poor shifting
strategies which don't match stock engine characteristics properly resulting in too
early shifting at low load
and too late shifting at high load. Other examples are:
•
Irresponsive shifting strategies
•
Vibrations
•
Hesitations
•
Slow shifting responses
Unsmooth take-off
TVS DSG software upgrades are certainly not only needed for tuned vehicles.
Basically all VAG DSG
tr
ansmissions will strongly benefit from a TVS Drivability upgrade which truly
transforms the performance
of a vehicle and even massively increases the drivetrain lifespan due reduced
flywheel, clutch and gearbox
wear! Certain models need special attention, some of them are listed below:
•
All VAG DQ200 transmissions
•
DQ250 TDI CR, R32, R36 transmissions
•
DQ500 T5/T6 2.0 TDI
•
DL382, DL501 2.0 TDI
•
DQ380, DQ381 2.0 TDI & TSI
So YES, also stock vehicles will benefit hugely from TVS DSG software. Don't wait
until problems start
occurring, but upgrade your DSG software as soon as possible to eliminate excessive
wear and massively
reduce the risk of failure.
3. FULL RE-PROGRAMMING
TVS always offers full software solutions instead of only modifying some basic DSG
calibrations. Besides
optimizing, rescaling and adjusting hundreds of maps and variables, based on our
over 15 years of DSG experience
and knowledge, TVS adds or modifies TCU routines to unlock the TCU's full
potential. This cannot be compared to TCU
software updates from the manufacturer or other aftermarket brands.
TVS DSG software upgrades are unique and one of a kind products which can be easily
recognized by TVS unique
boxcodes and initials within the software identification info. Factory calibrations
are always stored in our database and
can be restored at an
y stage.

4. Reprogramming Really Needed?
1.Tuned Vehicles
2. stock Vehic
les
3. Full Re-programming
1. TUNED VEHIC
LES
Most tuning companies still claim that DSG software upgrades are not needed for
tuned vehicles. Often
tricks are being used to disable DSG torque intervention commands or engine torque
calculations are
manipulated to stay within factory margins and avoid DSG torque limitations. All
these types of incorrect
ECU adjustments along with stock DSG software will in almost any case result in:
•
Excessive clutch wear
•
Shifting problems
•
Potential performance loss
•
Gearbox breakdown (eventually)
The explanation is simple: the functioning of the DSG transmission strongly depends
on real-time engine
running parameters received through the CAN bus. Without receiving correct data
from the engine, the
transmission control unit (TCU) initial calculations will be incorrect (or limited)
resulting in serious
problems.
Initially no issues might be noticed, but after a period of learning incorrect
adaption values and increased
wear (due to increased slip) the clutch will breakdown. Besides all the risks of
excessive wear and
breakdow
n, the DSG needs to be reprogrammed to perfectly match the new engine
characteristics. In other
words matching shifting strategies, modified shifting speeds and increased torque
capacity and oil
pressures will be needed to fully utilize the vehicles performance potential!
So YES, after tuning an engine, the DSG software have to be reprogrammed as well!
2. STOCK VEHICLES
Many stock VAG equipped DSG vehicles suffer from factory drivability issues.
Extremely poor shifting
strategies which don't match stock engine characteristics properly resulting in too
early shifting at low load
and too late shifting at high load. Other examples are:
•
Irresponsive shifting strategies
•
Vibrations
•
Hesitations
•
Slow shifting responses
Unsmooth take-off
TVS DSG software upgrades are certainly not only needed for tuned vehicles.
Basically all VAG DSG
transmissions will strongly benefit from a TVS Drivability upgrade which truly
transforms the performance
of a v
ehicle and even massively increases the drivetrain lifespan due reduced flywheel,
clutch and gearbox
wear! Certain models need special attention, some of them are listed below:
•
All VAG DQ200 transmissions
•
DQ250 TDI CR, R32, R36 transmissions
•
DQ500 T5/T6 2.0 TDI
•
DL382, DL501 2.0 TDI
•
DQ380, DQ381 2.0 TDI & TSI
So YES, also stock vehicles will benefit hugely from TVS DSG software. Don't wait
until problems start
occurring, but upgrade your DSG software as soon as possible to eliminate excessive
wear and massively
reduce the risk of failure.
3. FULL RE-PROGRAMMING
TVS always offers full softw
are solutions instead of only modifying some basic DSG calibrations. Besides
optimizing, rescaling and adjusting hundreds of maps and variables, based on our
over 15 years of DSG experience
and knowledge, TVS adds or modifies TCU routines to unlock the TCU's full
potential. This cannot be compared to TCU
software updates from the manufacturer or other aftermarket brands.
TVS DSG software upgrades are unique and one of a kind products which can be easily
recognized by TVS unique
boxcodes and initials within the software identification info. Factory c
alibrations are always stored in our database and
can be restored at any stage.

2. DQ250 DSG (02E/0D9)
The DQ250 gearbox is the first dual-clutch transmission introduced by Volkswagen
AG. It is characterized as strong
and reliable, but hardly modified since its introduction in 2003. Therefore it has
various common issues which could be
solved by TVS Engineering / DSG Dokter.

2. Services and Solutions
3. Repair Pricing
4. Software Pricing
1. GENERAL INFORMATION (DQ250 DSG INFORMATION):
The first DSG transmission, the DQ250 (02E), is introduced in a series-production
car during
the launch of the Golf Mk4 R32 back in 2003. During the design Volkswagen AG
combined
the advantages of manual and automatic transmissions into one completely new
gearbox
generation: the direct shift gearbox (DSG). It has been especially designed for VAG
vehicles
with an engine torque up to 350-380 Nm like the sportier versions of the Golf (GTI
and R
models).

1. DQ200 DSG (0AM/OCW)
The DQ200 DSG is the first and only 7-speed DSG with a double dry clutch. These
gearboxes are known to
have a lot of issues, especially compared to his predecessor the DQ250.
DQ200 DSG Information:
The DQ200 (0AM) DSG gearbox is a further development on the DQ250 (02E). During the
development of the
DQ200, the main priorities for Volkswagen AG were reducing fuel consumption and
lowering emissions. It
has been especially designed for vehicles with an engine torque up to 250 Nm like
the Polo, Golf, Passat
and Touran. The DQ200 (0AM) was the first 7-speed DSG gearbox equipped with a dry
double clutch and
mounted transversely at the front.
Without replacing the factory DQ200 software for TVS drivability and life extender
software, clutch damage
will occur! This software is unique on the market and can only be installed at our
headquarter or at one of
our 100+ authorized dealers.

4. Reprogramming Really Needed?

3. Full Re-programming
1. TUNE
D VEHICLES
Most tuning companies still claim that DSG software upgrades are not needed for
tuned vehicles. Often
tricks are being used to disable DSG torque intervention commands or engine torque
calculations are
manipulated to stay within factory margins and avoid DSG torque limitations. All
these types of incorrect
ECU adjustments along with stock DSG software will in almost any case result in:
•
Excessive clutch wear
•
Shifting problems
•
Potential performance loss
•
Gearbox breakdown (eventually)
The explanation is simple: the functioning of the DSG transmission strongly depends
on real-time engine
running parameters received through the CAN bus. Without receiving correct data
from the engine, the
transmission control unit (TCU) initial calculations will be incorrect (or limited)
resulting in serious
problems.
Initially no issues might be noticed, but after a period of learning incorrect
adaption values and increased
wear (due to increased slip) the clutch will breakdown. Besides all the risks of
excessive wear and
breakdown, the DSG needs to be reprogrammed to perfectly match the new engine
characteristics. In other
words matching shifting strategies, modified shifting speeds and increased torque
capacity and oil
pressures will be needed to fully utilize the vehicles performance potential!
So YES, after tuning an engine, the DSG software have to be reprogrammed as well!
2. STOCK VEHICLES
Many stock VAG equipped DSG vehicles suffer from factory drivability issues.
Extremely poor shifting
strategies which don't match stock engine characteristics properly resulting in too
early shifting at low load
and too late shifting at high load. Other examples are:
•
Irresponsive shifting strategies
•
Vibrations
•
Hesitations
•
Slow shifting responses
Unsmooth take-off
TVS DSG software upgrades are certainly not only needed for tuned vehicles.
Basically all VAG DSG
transmissions will strongly
benefit from a TVS Drivability upgrade which truly transforms the performance
of a vehicle and even massively increases the drivetrain lifespan due reduced
flywheel, clutch and gearbox
wear! Certain models need special attention, some of them are listed below:
•
All VAG DQ200 transmissions
•
DQ250 TDI CR, R32, R36 transmissions
•
DQ500 T5/T6 2.0 TDI
•
DL382, DL501 2.0 TDI
•
DQ380, DQ381 2.0 TDI & TSI
So YES, also stock vehicles will benefit hugely from TVS DSG software. Don't wait
until problems start
occurring, but upgrade your DSG software as soon as possible to eliminate excessive
wear and massively
reduce the risk of failure.
3. FULL RE-PROGRAMMING
TVS always offers full software solutions instead of only modifying some basic DSG
calibrations. Besides
optimizing, rescaling and adjusting hundreds of maps and variables, based on our
over 15 years of DSG experience
and knowledge, TVS adds or modifies TCU routines to unlock the TCU's full
potential. This cannot be compared to TCU
software updates from the manufacturer or other aftermarket brands.
TVS DSG software upgrades are unique and one of a kind products which can be easily
recognized by TVS unique
boxcodes and initials within the software identification info. Factory calibrations
are always stored in our database and
can be restored at any stage.

2. DQ250 DSG (02E/0D9)
The DQ250 gearbox is the first dual-clutch transmission introduced by Volkswagen
AG. It is characterized as strong
and reliable, but hardly modified since its introduction in 2003. Therefore it has
various common issues which could be
solved by TVS Engineering / DSG Dokter.

4. Software Pricing
1. GENERAL INFORMATION (DQ250 DSG INFORMATION):
The first DSG transmission, the DQ250 (02E), is introduced in a series-production
car during
the launch of the Golf Mk4 R32 back in 2003. During the design Volkswagen AG
combined
the advantages of manual and automatic transmissions into one completely new
gearbox
generation: the direct shift gearbox (DSG). It has been especially designed for VAG
vehicles
with an engine torque up to 350-380 Nm like the sportier versions of the Golf (GTI
and R
models).
