I have to add that this problem occurs on any giver gear on manual mode (and sticking on the same gear without changing up or down).
Probably the Worlds greatest Polo resource

Even in manual mode, the DSG box requires thinking time (to decide whether that change is allowable within self preservation parameters e.g. asking for 1st if you're doing 40mph is a no-no) when you request a change via the paddles or gearstick, and requires time to make the change.
You need a pedal booster to reduce the so called lag or waiting time before the engine responds.JoJo Well wrote: ↑Sun Jun 07, 2020 5:45 pm Hi everyone,
I bought 3 months ago a brand new Polo GTI. Drove it for about 2100 kms (1300 miles) now, and my major gripe is about the engine.
I know this is a high efficiency engine (aka buddack cycle), but when driving at steady pace (let's stay between 2000 and 3500 rpm), if I push the throttle pedal to accelerate, there is a lag (or kind of a hickup) that lasts around 1/2 sec to a second before the engine revs up.
Even my old MK5 Golf TDI 140 was more responsive when pushing the right pedal...
Did you guys experience the same phenomenon ?
Is it caused by necessary time to switch from one cam profile to another ?
Thanks
