Its interesting, I've owned a DSG6 and 7 car and have to say whilst the 6 is smoother its more delayed (due to built in clutch slip) at pulling away from a standstill.

I live just off a busy B road roundabout that I have to cross every morning on my journey to work and find its often pot luck whether I pull out in front of someone like a sitting duck before it starts trying to wheelspin and rev its nuts off. Seems to be no nack to it, almost certainly have less issues in a manual car.

Have you tried selecting "S" rather than "D" when negotiating said roundabout, or in any situation where you need to "GO" from a standstill?

 

Works on our cars, just be prepared to lift-off before hitting the vehicle in front!

I have had a couple of stalls over four plus years. Once I remember the car rolled slightly forward into a sharp dip just as the clutch bit on low/no throttle. Never had any problem when I needed to go but it can be abrupt. That said, when I need to go I would far prefer it to be abrupt and go smartly than try and be smooth and leave me in the lurch! It is probably programmed to do this.

I've now mastered the DSG!

 

It was basically not giving the clutch chance to engage before accelerating.

 

I have none of the hesitation that people complain about... either that or I just don't notice it.

 

Will be really putting it through it's paces in a couple of weeks at the Nurburgring!
