Delay on take-off (DSG)

[AdamD]

Ah, of course. I drove a new Passat CC which only seemed to engage the clutch when you accelerated slightly (in contrast to my GTI). Is this because the Passat has the new dry clutch DSG?

The CC uses the same wet plate 6-speed as the GTI. Too much torque for the 7-speed to cope with.

I was/am nerdy enough
Take a look at DSG7 data log thread I did last year. Some interesting stuff there if you have not already seen it.

For example when you start off, the k1 clutch never actually fully engages 1st gear, (continually slips the clutch) until the gearbox engages k2 and second gear.

VCDS VAG-COM is now shipping with the label files I made for the DSG7 and CAV engine

Heh, awesome. And your results are also quite unexpected - interesting reading.

I experienced an engine stall this morning with a Golf 6 Tdi DSG (6000km on the clock): It was on a rather steep incline waiting at a traffic light and I wanted to move about 50 cm forward. The hill assist disengaged and then the engine stalled (on light throttle application, no hand brake). Any similar experiences or should the hand brake be used in this type of circumstances as precaution?

My car is often parked on a hilly part of the driveway. I always have to use the handbrake and accelerate a bit until I can feel the car pulling before I release the handbrake. If I don't give it enough gas, the clutch goes back in and I start rolling down the hill towards where the other cars are parked (I usually reverse up the hill, maybe HSA doesn't work when the front is facing down-hill). I've backed it into the driveway a couple of times recently but still use the handbrake in any case. I basically treat the car as a manual for all low-speed maneuvers.

Yeah the DSG is far from confidence inspiring in those tight parking situations on slopes!
