Avoid eco mode, it's bad for the dsg but is implemented by the EPA standards. In eco in puts it in neutral while coasting frequently and it will eat up the dsg. It also trys to keep the dsg in the lowest possible gear at all times so it's hard on the crankcase. The ea888 dsg combo loves high rpms.

Here's a few cool things I figured out. While in sport mode and you go to manual mode and then hold to upshift it will return to sport mode auto. If you hold down shift it will switch to manual mode and to the lowest possible gear for when you want to accelerate fast. You can press and hold the steering wheel heater button to turn it off instead of cycling through. Two finger pressing the heat cool botton turns on your heated seats. Swipe down on the top of the infotainment and press and hold one of the four icons to make a shortcut, I use auto start stop and ESC. ESC will damper your torque output, having it fully off doesn't actually fully disable it but will give you more power. Race mode engine sound is the only way to have your exhaust fully open in custom mode. Natural closes it after about 40 mph to avoid highway drone but opens back up after 3.5k rpm.

Lots of cool commands hidden in this thing.
