Just a little warning for DSG drivers - Do Not let the gearbox "coast" in neutral. I.E. Do not roll down the road with the gearbox in Neutral. The gearbox can overheat if you do this. I'm sure everyone knows this but just thought It'd be worth a mention
Definitely agree with not holding it on the brakes if you've been giving it beans and the brakes are hot.
I usually sit in D unless stationary for a long spell. The clutch pack is meant to disengage when you press the brake and re-engage when you let off the brake. The re-engagement is the creep you feel when you let off the brake.
The only thing that seems counterintuitive to the disengagement of the clutch pack when you're on the brakes is that the car certainly revs a little easier when stationary and in neutral. Can't quite figure out why if the clutch pack is disengaged? They're must still be some rotating assembly attached when the car is in neutral. Anyone know the answer to this??
Also, maybe you've noticed when trying to nip into a junction or similar, that if you jump straight from the brake pedal onto the accelerator the car can do nothing for a split second and then lurch or jump forward. This is a slightly annoying feature of DSG because of the clutch pack has to transition when you get off the brake.
Cheesy buy informative DSG video on YouTube if anyone is bothered.....
