My car has the stupid fucking VAG DSG gearbox
so although I can put it into manual, it over-rides any selections it doesn't like. So I can't force it into 2nd or 3rd when stationary, so driving on snow and ice is very tricky. Ideally suited for living in Scotland, really. I'm so buying another 4x4.

Does it change gear by itself
or do you need to do it by pulling paddles by the steering wheel?

S is probably sport, I guess C is comfort. put it into C for driving in snow. But they used to have a * symbol for snow mode on BMW/Merc autos a bit back.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 24 Nov 2010, 10:50, Reply)

Actually, scratch that
if it's a tiptronic you should be able to self-shift. Put the gear lever in D. knock the lever to the left. You should now be able to move it up and down (+ and -) to select gears. Try putting it into 2nd or 3rd while stationary and see if it lets you pull away from stationary in 2nd or if it automatically downshifts to 1st. If you can pull away in 2nd, problem solved. Puts down less torque so less likely to spin. You always drive in high gears on snow and ice.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 24 Nov 2010, 10:55, Reply)

I've got the convenient thing with a diesel engine
where once you get going a little bit you can take feet off the controls and it'll slowly pull itself along. Excellent for driving in snow.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 24 Nov 2010, 10:58, Reply)

yeah, I've got a diesel but with a 6-speed DSG box.
So I can do that. but 1st gear is such a low ratio on the DSG that it's impossible to pull off even with no throttle, it's simply set to dump all the engine's torque on the road from almost stationary. Awful design flaw, and manual override doesn't allow anything other than 1st while stationary.

It also overrides upshifts just before the rev limiter, which makes it awful in proper sports cars too, because you frequently shift manually just as the override kicks in, and go up 2 gears at once.
