Hey guys,

I've had my DSG GTI for about 3 1/2 weeks now. I've read (wikipedia) that you shouldn't leave it in D while waiting at a red lights, or any time with a significant wait time, for it hold the clutches on a "bite point" and heats up the trans fluid. Is this true? Do you guys do this?

Here's the source:

N position of the floor-mounted shift lever means that the transmission is in "neutral". Similar to P above, both clutch packs and all gear-sets are fully disengaged, however the parking lock is disengaged. This position should be used when the motor vehicle is stationary for a period of time, such as at red traffic lights, or waiting in a queue of stationary traffic. The DSG should not be held in any of the active gear modes while stationary using the footbrake for other than brief periods — due to the clutches being held on the bite point, as this can overheat the clutches and transmission fluid.
