Now I may well be doing something wrong, I'm new to autos, yesterday when trying to parallel park on a steep hill, I found the auto hold was reluctant to come off and when it did the car lurched a lot, I didn't feel in control and it was a tight space so between auto hold and the braking assist it was a nightmare.

Maybe you are doing something wrong, but that is pretty hard to do. More likely you just need to do it differently. 

 

Not that it makes any difference but what DSG has the car, a DQ200 7 Speed Twin Dry clutch or a Wet Clutch one?

 

?

Is it definitely 'Autohold' that you are using, and no e-brake being used,

so you have  Autohold and Hill Hold Assist both operating?

 

?

Have you tried putting Autohold OFF, and just use the foot brake and Hill Hold Assist as needed.

You can turn off the Auto hold option - auto hold button should be next to the shifter and is labeled (A)

I'm presuming dry clutch as it's a 1.6 petrol MY21 it was auto hold till I cancelled it and used the electric hand brake, didn't know I had hill hold why have both?.

can't really use left leg on brake as it's knackered hence why I've gone auto.

Yes I did that in the end and used the hand brake but braking assist kept slamming the brakes on  to make things even more awkward and it's on it's least sensitive setting

Manoeuvre braking is different from the front assist and uses the parking sensors, and can be easily turned off in the menu’s

Nothing seems to be easy to switch off especially in busy traffic.

@pragmatix  I will presume you mean a 1.5TSI petrol,  so yes a 7 speed twin dry clutch DSG.

 

Autohold will hold you on the brakes.  If you put it off then Hill Hold Assist will just hold 2 seconds or so between the brake pedal to the accelerator.

 

'Autohold' should not be grabby.

 

PS

I can not use my right foot on the brake as i have no right leg.

Autohold is wonderful, as is Hill Hold Assist IMO.   

 

I would try Autohold again and do not use the e-Brake,

and not using 2 feet is certainly a good thing with a DSG or even an Auto.

Yes 1.5,  thanks for that I'll be trying the hill hold, never knew I had it. 
 

Auto hold isn't normally grabby

Autohold applies the brakes.

  HHA (HH Control) applies the brakes but just for the 2 seconds and just if you push the brake pedal hard enough, and on a slope.

 

That is different from the e-Brake that applies just the parking brake.

If you are going to be parking in tight spots regularly and the manoeuvre braking is going to be a problem, it is a tick box option, on or off just switch it off.

I can't see it anywhere on MIB3 pointer please.

Not sure on MIB3 but menu-car - parking and manoeuvring - gives you options for parking volume, tone settings and manoeuvre braking activation/ deactivation.

Yea found it now but it's another one you have to reselect can't be turned off only deactivated till next ignition cycle.
