Yep.  The DSG gearbox detects clutch slippage, so there is no fooling  
it.

Far as I know, all electronic-throttle cars cut power after a few  
seconds of braking.

Phil- is your A3 less-than-smooth getting going from a stop?  When I  
test drove one, it "crept" fine, but if you were at a stop, let  
completely off the brake, and started to apply gas- there was almost  
a lurch getting going.  I'm told DSG is also cranky in the cold...has  
it acted up any after one of your cold mornings?
