DSG cold starts

Post by gusgeds39 »

Hi just wanting to know if this scenario causes major clutch slip on a 2021 Polo Tsi 95 with DSG transmission.
when starting from cold revs are quite high and i have to pull out from my house, revs are high but dont equate to forward motion, does this mean the clutch packs slip?
No problem when warm DSG works absolutely fine, is this normal?

All cars idle higher when they're cold, they normally lower after 15-30 seconds. It's normal car behaviour, and no it won't be your car "slipping its clutch", the same happens with manual cars.
