Yes - waiting for the check lights on the dash to go out has eliminated the problem.

Just an update. I've found that if I wait until the initial check lights go out on the dash before I release the handbrake, it seems everything works as normal. It seems all the relevant software has not come online properly until all the system checks have been done as shown by the check lights/icons going out. Maybe. See how it goes.

Manual handbrake -no auto release. I think it is an issue though because it didn't happen when I purchased the vehicle and came on suddenly about 1 yr ago (car is 4.5 yrs old). No traction while accelerating from start is definitely a problem. It has never got any worse though. I'm now wondering whether a software update has set the problem off. I go from the brake to the accelerator immediately so no delay which would cause the Hill Hold to switch off BUT it reacts as if there has been too long a delay. Fairly sure its described as Hill Hold and was working appropriately before the problem started.

Apply footbrake, start car, release handbrake, release footbrake and press accelerator pedal ->car rolls back, no traction from DSG. then Apply footbrake again then press accelerator pedal again ->car moves off normally. Dealer says no issue detected by scan. Yes, got that covered.

I'm heading there tomorrow. We'll see what they come up with!

Does anybody know what this issue might be? I have a 2014 Octavia 103TSI with DSG which I've owned from new. I can truly say its never missed a beat -an excellent car. More recently though I've noticed an intermittent issue when I start the car, particularly after its been standing for a while e.g. overnight. I have keyless ignition so I and start by pressing the ignition button while having my foot on the brake. I move the lever to D and release the handbrake and footbrake then pressing the accelerator. The car rolls back and does not seem to engage the transmission so suddenly I'm rolling backwards with no gear engaging and no Hill Hold. If I then tap the brake pedal the car then acts completely normally, engages 1st gear and moves forward. It does not happen every time I start, but seems to happen more often when the car has been standing for a while. It seems like either the Hill Hold and/or the DSG has a problem. I will be grateful for any opinion on this issue.
