DSG Box - does clutch disengage fully at tickover?

The gearbox does know that if you have your foot on the brake it can disengage the clutch - partially! But not to quite the same extent as if you had it in N. As far as I can tell it holds the clutch just very slightly biting, so when you want to move off it can do so pretty much instantly. Whereas in N it fully disengages the clutch.

 

Being a wet clutch, having it very slightly biting is probably not wearing the clutch plates - the slight transmission of power is via the viscosity of the oil. There will be no actual contact between the clutch plates.

I think you may well be right. I slipped it into neutral when I had the electronic handbrake on and the revs rose before they stabilized at 800 again.

I've got the dry dsg so I hope it's not slipping too much!
