Golf mk8 / Re: Parking brake/Hill hold question
« Last post by JoeGTI on 18 November 2025, 13:35 »I've been driving MK7 / MK8 Golfs for 12 years and I've never noticed this. Always have found the auto-hold works really well, very smooth when moving off. A gentle tap of the throttle is all it should take in my experience. If its the full parking brake you are referring to, then yes, that is more noticeable, more of a "lurch", but I'd expect that because in that case the car has to release the parking brake, whereas on auto-hold its only applied the normal braking. There shouldn't be any need to apply the full parking brake in regular driving though, I rarely press that "P" button.
