my KAROQ 1.5 se DSG when at a stop does not move forewords or backwords when drive or reverse is engaged when the footbrake is released.

I have to lightly blip the throttle to activate any movement. This can be awkward when inching on certain manoeuvres. 

why is this happening? there should be an amount of creep when foot brake is released mine does not move. Is it the auto hold that is causing this?

Anyone know please?

 

Yes it is the autohold working correctly. Some cars release easier than others though.

Maybe turn it off if you have to keep edging forward?

yes, thanks for your reply John. I thought as much. I'll give it a try. It's perfectly normal for this to happen then?

Well......

I've had one car similar to yours but all the others seem to work better. Read into that what you will.

 

When I first get the car out of the garage I have to blip the throttle, after that while manoeuvring it creeps along fine.
This is my third DSG and I have never had a problem in slow traffic or slow manoeuvres! In fact, for me they great gear boxes I would not have any other.
I must add all the cars have been Diesel 4x4s.
Worst car auto I have ever had was a Citroen C4 Picasso terrible to control

If you’ve came from a traditional old school fluid auto, mastering the DSG gearbox will take a bit of practice. You’ll soon adapt to feathering the brake pedal once moving and soon master manoeuvring in tight spaces.

you need a very light delicate right foot, fortunately that is what I have got. I am always worried though that I may overcook it a bit at times.

people with a heavy foot would struggle! I like to keep my foot hovering  near the brake throughout a tight manoeuvre. I will try it with the auto hold off

to see how I go.

dont keep the brake pedal held tightly, a loose hold on the brakes should allow you to creep. it works in my Cupra

Hill hold is activated. It’s normal as far as I’m aware 

further to my original post, I simply switched off the auto hold function. it worked a treat! don't have to touch the throttle now, can control moving using the footbrake,

great!

I don't like autohold either and it's always turned off - but opinions divided here.  The throttle is still too sensitive compared with many other cars I've driven, but got used to taking care to achieve smooth starts from standstill (throttle was worse on my previous Yeti).  There is a fix for the trhrottle through VCDS and maybe Carista, but will wait till car is out of warranty before getting that and other things done, as part of a mid-life upgrade including change to 16" wheels with quieter tyres than my OK but unexceptional Turanzas.

Great! I have the auto hold permanently switched off.  Could never get on with it.

I like autohold and always have it switched on. 

 

However, I turn it off when manoeuvring the caravan to give me fine control, and especially letting it 'creep' is very handy.
