 Volkswagen Passat - VW DSG - Auto Hold - how does that work? - Injection Doc
I had a 58 DSG 2.0TDi Passat. The box was awfull but at 35000 miles VW finally had a re-call for a mod to the Auto and it was better. They are not as good in refinement as some auto boxes. I found the DSG box was worst when it came to reversing ! it wouldnt creep so you had to use rev's to reverse, so in a small parking space I always thought a bit hairy!
I seem to remember the handbrake calipers used to come on everytime it stopped and released as soon as you touched the throttle. You could alway hear that whine from the rear.
Great car though, I had 3 Passats, all 2.0TDI's and for high mileage were great and fuel economey was fantastic, infact my Hi-line DSG was the best of all 3 and 60 mpg on a long motorway trip was usuall
