I've got a 2007 Passat TDI with the DSG gearbox (which is Ok most of time, a bit jerky in traffic but its only my second auto so I've got little to compare against)
One thing I've been playing with is the Auto Hold function, where the car 'locks' when stationery as if you were holding the brakes.
Does anyone know how this works? is it actually applying the brakes, or is it holding the car on the clutch somehow? It doesn't seem to use the handbrake (its the electronic thingy on mine) as you can hear that engage/disengage when you use it.
Just curious really, as this DSG gearbox seems too clever for its own good.
