Roll back? When? On a hill slope? Your electronic brakes did not engage?

If I am not mistaken, Wearnes sells the Akrapovic exhaust in their Sungai Besi branch. Best to call and verify first.

Had a mini freak out session this morning with my Golf TSI while driving to work.

Was stuck at a traffic light jam on a hill when I realized the car rolls back when you let go of the brakes - even when I was on 'D', and even when I was lightly tapping the accelerator.

Almost knocked into the car behind me.

Is this normal? I ended up having to balance out the handbrake and the accelerator as if I'm driving a manual (yes I know DSG is essentially a manual, but wasn't expect it to work like this.)

How do you guys deal with this "characteristic" of the car? I was thinking maybe if you don't play with the handbrake, it may be possible to just hold on to the foot brakes, and floor the accelerator a little harder instead.

if you depress fully your brake pedal, your hill control "should" engage. But i treat the DSG as a manual and always pull my handbrake on slopes..anyway..its good practice

if u pull your handbrake 100% of the time on slopes, then u dont have to worry whether u gonna roll back or not, it just becomes habit

hill hold assist only works for around 2-3 sec...
after that it will disengage and u gotta press the brakes again or start moving... if not ur car will roll backwards
and u gotta press the brake fully in if not it wont engage also..

Like jwrx said handbrake it and when you release, the hill assist would take hold immediately but only for 2-3 seconds, but lets say you forgot to hand brake it but foot brake and when you let go it starts rolling back...it would roll back for only a short distance before the hill assist takes hold UNLESS the idiot-to-be behind you is too freakin near your car then you will definitely kiss your paint job goodbye

what is your mileage now?
hmm your car 4 yr old, if the tires unchanged since new sure must change, even if the treads are good. are you on 19"? that's gonna burn a huge hole in your pocket. and yes, repair and maintenance first, and then only mods  tongue.gif
congrats~ caractere rims are nice
nice to see you here. main reason going for R is AWD, you can always make a GTI faster than R. (not sure of potential of the R though)

Hey !

Yea ... Friends been saying the GTI is more than enough . Can save the extra money for mods .
Thinking of adding HKS Super SQV III Blow off valve and do a simple ECU upgrade to bypass the fuel cut .
Other than that , it's just rims and maybe suspension ?

But I'm happy for the way the car is , But of course the R rear lights and Xenon headlights ( optional for GTI in Aussie ) are a bonus =D
