Auto hold - DSG - burning clutch?

[Hillbilly]

So it seems I'm now able to answer my own question. Today I tried using auto hold on a slight incline. Here's what happened.

Took foot off the brake, engine started, auto hold held the car still. Tapped the accelerator very briefly and the brake released, car rolled back just a fraction before creeping forward in first gear. Guessing this means clutch isn't burning!

Same would happen if you used the handbrake. Might be slightly rougher release though as the brakes tend to pop off quickly. Will try mine tomorrow on the only incline for miles in our area
