New Golf VI probelm

[cktsi]

I've had my Golf Mark 6 118 tsi DSG for a month now. I have not experienced this problem.

It sounds like a problem with the DSG gearbox itself than the hill start assist.

I have a new series 6 TDi DSG. In cairns (FNQ) there are 2 such vehicles (mine and a demo at the dealer) that do this - reverse out of garage in morning (i.e cool - doesn't get cold here) back on to a backward slope on driveway. Stop, select D (drive) and car stalls! I have suggeted to dealer (and they agree) that there maybe a problem with hill-assist. It feels like the car is trying to pull away with the handbrake still on. The dealer is talking to VW in Germany. I reckon this may all be related.

not sure if the golfs are the same... but my jetta you cant left foot brake and accelerate at the same time.
when you apply the brake it will not respond to the accelerator pedal. (i assume because you are confusing the gearbox software as it doesn't know if you are going or stopping.)
to avoid the slight roll back on a really steep hill i use the method that stevetdi uses with the handbrake... you can feel the car wanting to go forward then release the handbrake and off you go.
on slight inclines it will only roll back a small amount. (freaked me out too when i first drove mine up a hill in the city)

remember people... the 7 speed DSG (petrol TSI engines) is different to the 6 speed DSG used in the diesel cars.

Do you have your foot firmly on the brake when going from R to D or are you using the handbrake?

How? They both operate the same way!

How? They both operate the same way!

1.4 TSi gets a 7 speed unit with dry clutches
TDI and GTI get a 6 speed unit with wet clutches

Same same but different.

They still operate the same way, as far as the driver is concerned there is no difference.

Have your vehicle looked at by a dealer. Hill start assist holds for 1.5 seconds, and it doesnt sound like that.
