possible first problem
« on: 01 August 2009, 13:32 »
...not yet a week old and with only 200 miles it looks like I have an issue. Three times now I've stopped at traffic lights/junction and the revs haven't dropped properly to the normal idle of 900'ish rpm...it only drops to about 1100 and there is a slight pulsing....most of the time it's ok...but 3 times so far in 2 days...

back to the stealer on monday to see if any faults show up...gutted...my old mk 5 never missed a beat in 4 years...ahhhh

Do you have the Auto-Hold option? If so thats where your rev's are going

So dealer hooked it up to vagcom, but no reported faults logged....so will just have to see if it sorts itself out or gets worse I guess...that's the worst of these new engines..unless it tells the dealers what's wrong they don't seem to want to do anything  :sad:

Also, I get this tingling sound at about 2400 revs (not there before 2400 and goes away after 2400 revs) when accelerating..it's either supposed to sound like this or I have a loose exhaust bracket/heat shield etc.....anyone who has their mk 6 yet hear anything slightly similar ?

Could that be the so called "sound generator"?

Should have got a manual, much less hassle free apparently......oh wait you did  :undecided:

Only joking, hope you get it sorted mate  :wink:
