DSG in the wet

[Martin]

I think its just a case of either getting used to the "hill holder" or reverting to conventional handbrake hill starts in the wet.

It's the brake assist
I don't actually know what the car will do if you manually use the hand brake but there should not be any need to do so.
Hold the foot brake, ensure the car is stationary, look at the MFD and check the car has selected 1st gear.
Confidently lift foot off the brake and then ease into the accelerator
If the car tries to change into 2nd and that is causing problems put the car into manual and select first, hold it in first until your underway

If it does not work then maybe there is a DSG/Clutch issue - get assitance from your dealer service centre

I actually bought the Superb after being really happy with a new rental Skoda I drove in the UK (which sadly was written off as we sat stationary at a junction but that's another story!)

Yikes!!!

My right foot has been retuned with stage 2 software for more modulating control ability and i have not had much dramas on wet

its not the brake assist - it's the "hill hold control".
i don't know about the superbs, but on the octavia rs, hill hold wasn't available till MY09 or MY10, after which it was made a std fit.

from the rs my11 brochure:-
"ESP - Electronic Stabilisation Program (incl. ABS, EBD, ASR, XDL and hill hold control)"
