DSG - at lights.....
« on: 01 May 2009, 09:34 »
What do you do at traffic lights??

Is it best for the car to slip into N and handbrake if required, or do you just keep your foot on the brake?

Does it make any difference, or wear the clutch any further?

If I am stuck in traffic or at the lights for a while I tend to slip it in to "N" just seems to take the stain off rather than holding it in gear.

Keep foot on brake. If a prolonged wait, I put it in P.

Does P also apply the brake as well?

The manual mentions that its not necessary or required to put the car into N - neutral. Holding the brake is sufficient.

On the other hand if I'm at the lights for a long time I'll slip her into "N" as it seems to reduce the ever so slight vibration through the car when stationary in "D".

No.

But the car will not move in "P" I have noticed.
