yes , system goes to nuetral rolling downhill as allowed by the engineering involved and dependent on conditions at the time


I honestly don't know how any of those dual-clutch automated-manual transmission fares on hypermiling, but I have seen some complaints about a low reliability of the DSG under certain harsher conditions.

early DSG systems had issues with dual mass flywheels .... mostly resolved .... and we did quite a few mechatronix units under recall
warranty ALSO that issue has been resolved
so
to me it seems (since i am hybrid certified)
the VW jetta hybrids have more DSG issues than regular non hybrid VWs HOWEVER most of those are displayed and resolved at low mileage under warranty and the rest of the VW line up does not have DSG failure issues
of any kind
when
not
abused ... even when they are abused failure rates are very low ... we have not done any yet this year to date .
