Golf 6 Gti Edition 35 ... Please help

Post by FGolf6 »

New to the Forum.

I'm having issues with a Golf 6 gti dsg. It seems so sluggish I first thought that I had to get used to a Dsg gearbox but the other day I drove a Mk6 Gti std and it felt more powerful. the vehicle has been fully serviced by VW only has 70 000 on the clock and not sure what it can be. I had it serviced a month ago. I feel my golf 5 Gti was faster.

Any Ideas please help I’m starting to regret buying it.

The Dsg does feel like that on a 35. I had both. GTI and ED35. I know what you talking about. The GTI has more punch when you put it down right? More like instant compare to the 35.
They both have different engines and different turbos hence the difference in power delivery
