    I've noticed that if you don't break reasonably forcefully at time of stopping, sometimes there is a bit of creep...a simple push on the brake pedal fixes it...

    it will only hold it for so many minutes, then it will apply the handbrake - might be getting just to that point.

    Anybody know if the auto hold function disengages the DSG? In other words, if I'm stuck in a traffic jam and using auto hold am I better to snick it into neutral for a prolonged stop or just leave it in drive? Thanks!

    No need to stick it in neutral

    You're thinking about the DSG all wrong. Its not an automatic gearbox

    Its basically a dual clutch manual gearbox.

    Officially its "an electronically controlled dual clutch multiple-shaft manual gearbox, in a transaxle design - without a conventional clutch pedal, and with full automatic or semi-manual control"

    So when at a dead stop the DSG basically has it in neutral or "engages the clutch" like you would in a manual

    Thats why there is that slight delay to kick into gear when you accelerate

    you can stick it in neutral though as that release the clutches. Leaving it in Drive is sort of the same as leaving a manual in gear and keeping your foot on the clutch.

    The light stays on to indicate that the autohold function is still active, for the next time you stop on a hill. The function can be active, without 'holding'.

    You could find a quiet street that had a very slight gradient, with autohold active & brake to a complete stop. Then take off slowly so you are just doing about 2 or 3kph & slip it into neutral, & ensure you continue to coast slowly?
