DSG Noise

Hi all,

When I press the little button on the DSG gear lever when its in park I get a relay clicking sort of sound from under the steering column area. Is this normal? I know when u press the footbrake it disengages the lock thing to allow you to select a gear but this happens when u just press the button. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Andy

Its normal. Its the lockpin for the key. When the DSG is taken out of "park" the steering column locks the key in so that you cant take it out. Only when it is in "park" will it unlock the key and allow you to take it out.
