Usually in VAG cars you can't press the brake and clutch at the same time. It just cuts the power. Designed in as a safety feature to avoid inadvertent double peddling.
Accelerator and brake, surely? Edited by n4aat on Friday 24th October 06:00
Olly - the problem (one of...) with my Mk6 ed35 was that the throttle response was too slow and the engine management didn't let revs drop fast enough for proper fun. I'd strongly recommend a decent "try before you buy" with the R to make sure it doesn't suffer the same character traits.

I would have thought the pedals would be spaced the same as other Golfs, but just with differently finished pedals??
Also, are you guys talking about brake-boost.. holding the car on brakes and mashing the accelerator to build boost?? I thought heel/toe was when coming down the box, blipping the throttle with your heel while braking with your toe... at least that's what I've always called it!!
So if you guys are saying that you can't heel-toe (as I know it) and it will refuse to blip throttle while on the brakes, then that isn't great because when I am 'on it' that's something which I do like to do.
