Just come home with my new superb estate driven 80miles no problem stopped on way home for a McDonald's and when I tried to reverse out the car struggled to move. It is a DSG and would not reverse but once I tried a couple of times it moved ok. Felt like the handbrake was sticking on possibly? Don't think it's a DSG problem but does anyone think this May be because the car has been sat on a forecourt for a few weeks. It,s two years old but I don't think it's run much for the past month.

As far as I am aware it has not got hill hold. It was on a very flat drive when it happened

To clean the hand brake pads, just before you come to a stop use the hand brake to slow you down. Think more of slowing you down from 2mph to 1mph, than pulling a handbrake turn.

Do you have to have a seatbelt on for it to release normally, if this is so it could be the buckle anchor isn't making a full connection.

Handbrake is manual, rather than electronic a la passat and Audi.

Does the Superb II with manual parking brake have a separate rear parking brake arrangement, or just use the rear brakes in "normal" fashion like most cars still do?
