In Mandy's case it's probably witchcraft holding the car.  :wink:

But it must be some form of contact when it's in D, cause when I stop the car and it's in D you can feel the gearbox is under some form of load and when it's in N the pressure is gone and it is free.

Same.

Haven't measured it with VCDS but always lead to believe there is a clamping force on the k2 clutchpacks when in D.

Defo extra load on the engine as measured by vac pressure. Can hear the engine note change as well.

A little experiment for you all to try - get to a set of traffic lights, leave the 'box in D and put your handbrake on. It'll strain against the brake for about a second, and then it stops. It's obvious to me that the car is no longer being held at the bite point.
