We have a 2015 1.2 TSi 110 bhp DSG Fabia. I’ve always found that it doesn’t creep very well especially relevant when parking close to a solid object or when putting it away in the garage. What happens is I select D, wait a few seconds, foot off the brake pedal, if it starts to creep forward it’s OK but more often that not it rolls back so a bit of throttle and it starts to creep forward, then the clutch disengages the revs rise to 1500 drop back to 900, clutch engages immediately disengages revs rise and fall without any change in throttle pedal position. Mileage is 19,000, ex Motability car which had just 900 miles recorded when I bought it. Just wondering if it’s a Mechatronics or Clutch packs issue. Normal driving is fine.

I take it is one without Hill Hold Assist which is why it behaves that way.

Likely not faulty just as they can be without Hill Hold,  what about using the hand /parking brake for those maneuvers as the brake to accelerator pedal can be a PITA.

I have only one foot so never ever can be touching the brake pedal and accelerator, touching the brake pedal does cut drive.

For sprints and hill climbs i never held DSG,s with the Brake Pedal i held on hand brake & foot on accelerator.

Thanks for the response. Our Fabia does have hill hold, the slope of our drive in front of the garage is just enough for it to roll back but not steep enough to engage hill hold. Based on your suggestion I have changed how I drive the Fabia into the garage. Foot on brake engage drive, release footbrake, position foot over throttle (but dont press)  release handbrake and then it creeps forward with a little throttle. This seems to provide enough time for the DSG clutches to engage and to start the car moving.  My current Karoq is the 2.0 TSI withe wet clutch DSG, my previous Touran was 2.0 TDI with wet clutch DSG, they both creep more readily, I was wrongly expecting the Fabia to behave the same. More importantly  the DSG box is working correctly and it was the user at fault!
