gti_4cefed4 Says: It is perfectly fine and actually the practical use to switch between S and D while the car is in motion. It is very useful to switch to S while entering a merge ramp or just prior to passing someone to utilize the higher shift points and aggressive gear selection. In general, VW is very good about having the car keep you from performing harmful operations. A perfect example of this is needing to depress the brake pedal after leaving the car in neutral for more than a few seconds. While this feature makes it a pain when leaving the tracks of a car wash, it is designed to prevent an abrupt engagement of the transmission.
