my DSG tranny got confused ???? - anyone else experienced this?
I have noticed in slow traffic my DSG transmission doesn't know which is the optimum gear to be in
today however after backing out of a parking space and placing the shifter in drive the transmission appeared to have no idea what to do
first the car wouldn't move then it would move but not shift so it stayed in first
then I moved the shifter to shift with the paddles but still no joy
I then stopped, turned off the ignition and restarted the car and everything was fine
anyone else experienced this kind of behavior?
seems more like a computer issue rather than the transmission itself

I've never experienced anything like that with my DSG. I do note that if I really need the instant "get up and go" while in traffic, I shift manual as it's more responsive than auto mode.....but auto mode always shifts.
Have you asked an Audi service rep about this?
BTW, love the blue top on your roadster....goes nice with the silver, prolly a real eye catcher!
