new TT gearbox question

Hi Guys

new member here from the UK

I collected my new TT last week and its brilliant. Its the 3.2 S TRONIC version.
In "DRIVE" it performs as an every day car providing high 20's in MPG's. Switch it into "SPORT" unleashes a different car all together. It wants to be pushed and screams at you to do so.

My question is...

can you change from "DRIVE" to "SPORT" and back while moving without damaging the engine.

Forgive my ignorance but this is the first Auto of this type i have driven

Yes, I do it all the time with my 2.0 litre.

Don't try throwing it into reverse though.

cheers AF

I contacted my local dealer who also said it was fine....

BUT

when i queried this with AUDI customer service they said...

"We would advise against this...."

The Liability klaxon must have gone off in their legal department

Would have probably got the same reply if i had asked if it was ok to drive forwards in this car!
