I find when I do this sometimes, the D1 to D2 transition behaves the way I would like it to, and then sometimes not really.
Is that premature acceleration from D2 with the juddering placing extra strain on the 2nd gear and transmission as a whole?
Can the DSG tune then ensure less wear on D2?

In D2 the torque is too low for OEM operation....ever notice when in tiptronic 2nd gear, the applied engine torque is different (higher) than in D2?
The thing is when the engine is tuned the torque is brought lower down the rpm range thus virtually eliminating the "so called shudder" effect...same can be done for DSG Tune...In either case the Clutch wear is lowered in this instance, but I'm not in a position to say by what percentage...hope I answered your question..

However, what mineral oil are they speaking of?

This is preventative I believe. If you mechatronic unit went kaput switching to this oil at that point won't fix the issue.

On international forums most of the 7 speed dsg complaints threads dried up after the recalls so it's a waiting game to see if the problem is really solved. I suspect it is. My question is how come cars locally never ever ever seem to fall under recalls lol.

Interesting that you bring that up. When my Tiguan went in for service a couple of weeks ago my fuze box was replaced free of charge due to the worldwide recall because fuze box melting etc. But it was all very hush hush. I wasn't informed, it was written on my bill in a very vague way that most wouldn't pick up on unless you follow the recalls.
A bit off topic but I've found the service at Best Auto has really deteriorated in the last 2 years. After numerous complaints nothing has been done to improve it. I mean seriously a basic service these days takes 2 days.

By basic service do you mean oil/filter change?
If so, I usually book that about a week in advance and I let them know I'm waiting for the car. I've never had to wait more than 2 hours from check in to driving out.

Thought I had received the update by now for tuning cthd 1.4tsi....turns out it was only after opening up my ecu did I realize the processor chip on my ecu board was the most current one...
Long story short, gotta wait for a while until tunes available for my engine...stueps
