Can the Audi A6L with dual-clutch transmission coast in neutral?

[MacAriana]

The Audi A6L with dual-clutch transmission cannot coast in neutral unless the owner does not want the transmission. The circulation and heat dissipation of transmission oil rely entirely on the rotation when in gear. Coasting in neutral stops this circulation. Introduction to coasting in neutral: During vehicle operation, the driver shifts the gear lever into the neutral position, separating the engine from the driven wheels' clutch, and uses the vehicle's inertia to continue moving. Coasting in neutral must be done under conditions that ensure safety and normal vehicle technical conditions. It is not allowed to coast with the engine off, especially when descending steep or long slopes. About fuel-saving claims when coasting in neutral: Automotive repair experts state that coasting in neutral does not save fuel and may sometimes consume more. This is mainly related to the working mode of electronically fuel-injected engines. Electronically fuel-injected engines can determine the amount of fuel injection based on computer programs. When in gear, if the driver releases the accelerator, the computer will put the vehicle into coasting mode, during which the engine does not inject fuel for a long period.
