although I sometimes use manual mode on downhill sections to engine brake

It's stopping on icy downhill slopes where DSG is a bit of a worry to me ... what do peeps do in this situation ?

2. Drive steadily
3. Leave it in D mode
4. Progressive on the brakes when needed

There is a W - winter switch on the GT 170 TDI, I think that one just adjusts the torque output. Don't know if it adjusts the DSG settings though.

Do you petrol engined cars have the "w" button infront of the gear selector ??



(W = Winter ( according to the O/M) )

No only the oil burners by the sounds of it.
