Hi guys, the next week I will receive my Leon Cupra (2019, 290hp DSG7). So happy. I had spent the last week trying to learn how to use it (please don't laugh, I would like to give my future car a good life). My concern is relate to the DGS. I had always had manual gearbox and so I had read the whole Leon manual and viewed a lot of videos of tutorial, tips and do/don't with dsg. And now I'm a little confuse because there are some inconsistencies between some affirmation that I heard or readed.
I had driven only one camper with DSG, old one, and was easy because it has only Park, Drive and Rear. Now I have also the Neutral position and this cause a lot of question. For what I had understood, at the stoplight I should press the breake till the stop of the car, leave D and never release the breake till I want to start the car. From what I had understood I can change in Neutral when I will have the engine turned on but I'm forced to wait for a "bit longer". Is it correct?
Questions:
1) let's say that I need to raise the foot from the break for a moment, 2-3 seconds (don't know why, let your immagination runs) and I need/want to have the engine turned on. Is it correct that I put the car in Neutral, then turn on the electronic-handbrake and then release the breake pedal?
2) Same as above but I need to leave the car (to inspect if the lights are working or to check the tires). Is the procedure ok or I need to stop the engine?
3) This one happen to my frequently. During a parking sometimes I need to go backward (so in Rear) but then I need to fix the position to the car and I need to go a little forward. This mean the I need to switch to Rear, make the maneuver, press the breake, switch to Drive, release the breake and press gently the trottle peddal. Is it correct?
Thank you
