yea!!^^^ shouldnt be doing that

Cheers!  I assume the others with DSG slip it into N when at a temporary standstill?  It's a bit of a pain that the car creeps forwards when in D/S/tiptronic and it didn't take me long to get sick of holding the foot brake on at lights.  Besides I think I read something in the manual about not holding her on the foot brake for long periods of time while at a standstill and in gear.

edit: Excuse the questions but I have only ever owned cars with manual boxes before the GTI

Nothing wrong with the question, you might be asking, but i bet there is loads of people watching this wondering the same thing.
When you are holding it on the brake you are not damaging the clutch. but you are correct it is best policy to place in neutral if in a long que or think you are going to be stationary for a while. I find if i hold it on the brake i cant help creeping forward and it takes some getting used to at junction's.

Should be fine in a manual, over small distances, as there's oil pump to drive.
