DSG - Neutral Question

[Snoopy]

So true, Its a pet hate of mine it gives me a headacre by the time i get home from work. Sitting behind all those lazy people who don't know how to use a handbrake.

Brilliant, Good call 

Yeah Snoopy its my pet hate as well. I've had many a headache by the time I've got home. I've even tried stopping a good distance behind the car at lights but it makes no difference.

Mean while the heat from the pads transfer into the discs warping them, neutral and handbrake.  Also if you get rammed from behind, you shoot off like a rocket.

And why would it do that when there is no drive engaged, foot on the brake is just fine..   

Especially true when hill assist is activated, the drive is only engaged when you take your foot off the brake and the car then releases the brake itself.

He means heat soak - if your brakes are really hot, the pad will generally be a lot hotter than the disc. When you come to a stop and hold the brake pedal down, heat transfers from the pad into the disc in one location only. In extreme situations this can cause pad material to adhere to the disc at this point, resulting in the uneveness which is commonly described as a warped disc. However I don't imagine this is going to become an issue unless you've just lapped a track a few times or perhaps slowed very hard from high motorway speeds to zero and sat at a traffic light for 5 minutes.

When my car is in D it is biting on the "clutch" at standstill, this is the first DSG car I've had that does this, normally there is a very distinct on / off nature to the box but this one is very different.

The massive benefit of this is low speed parking manoeuvres that are now much easier and operates like a conventional auto in so much as it "creeps" rather than being engaged or disengaged with nothing between the two modes.
