clutches too hot. Flashing 123456 because you are in manual mode it would flash PRNDS if you were in auto mode.
I just had my DSG redone. I opted for traditional seperate cooler for the DSG fluid (basic trans cooler circulates trans fluid through fanned heat exchanger). I don't have your kind of power but I did mine in with heat (track use and since it is just a fun car it gets driven hard everytime out). After looking at how the current cooler worked I felt the traditional type cooler is going to be more effective than giving the existing cooler its own resevoir, pump and fanned heat exchanger. If you still want to go that way I believe the TT motor uses a larger core unit than the ones found on our cars.
Got mine from INA engineering. I still need to cap off the stock unit.

How much did the ina set you back?
Do you have a before/after result of your fluid temps?
Is the pump continuously running or do you have a toggle switch for it?

I do not have with and without fluid temps yet. Waiting until I go to the track next time. That is where the big issue is for me.
I have a dash mounted switch for it.
I will PM you what I paid but not sure if I got a break on pricing as I had done something for him.

Cool deal [emoji1360]
Right now I think my heat issue is due to the clutches slipping. All the spinning without being able to catch. Sounds plausible to me but idk.
Stick it on the dyno and log boost and you will know very quickly if they are slipping. That is how I discovered mine. First dyno run we noticed that the usual correspondence between boost and torque was not there. Boost would spike early as per the tune but torque did not go up as expected.
Driving the car I really couldn't feel any slipping but 2 trips to the dyno confirmed the issue. So... fresh clutches, DSG cooler and an LSD went in recently.

It's obvious that they are slipping badly. You can feel it and see it in the dsg logs

Saving money to upgrade the clutches and I'll probably make some kind of dsg cooling setup

Lol, makes me laugh when it's a big deal that you started your car. Definitely been there before, "we'll nothings changed and there's no new mods, but I started it and let it run!!"

Lol yeah I usually start it up once a week and let it run for 15 min or so
