DSG is all a bit confusing.

I also noticed that the 155 TSI Tig has an auto hold function which remembers the position of the foot brake when stationary at lights etc. I am assuming using this function would not be using the hand brake (which is also electronic in this vehicle) and therefore not causing premature wear on the DSG.

Can anyone confirm this?

That's right. As long as you have Hill Hold (Assist) activated, or your foot is on the brake, the control system wil disengage the clutches. The car is held on the brake and not by riding the clutch.

Thanks Wai. Appreciate the confirmation.
