Re: Creaks and groans

Don't inch forward on a dual clutch transmission. The clicks could be the robot trying to guess what the hell you want to do: a) stop -> disengage the clutch b) go -> engage the clutch It would be healthier to rather come to a full stop, let the car in front to move a couple of meters then go for a ...

Re: Battery Life??
