Trading in my GTI... for an R32 DSG

[zerolight]

Hi. I posted a new thread on it. From stand still, I touch the throttle as soft as possible and the car moves off with a jump, like I have no clutch control.

I know you've posted a new thread but could be Mechatronics... (sounds like a friend of Optimus Prime  )

Faulty Mechantronics in the dsg.

About £1000 item, but im sure you have warranty (09 reg). Return from where it once came

They dont fail just like that, previous keeper would of been aware of that, may of been why he got shot??

Great looking car though Zero

Thanks. I'm sure it'll be terrific once the gearbox gets sorted. And when I can stretch to some real tires instead of the Roadstones that came on the front.

^^^ +1. 

I drive past an RB R32 every day on the way home... I keep telling myself, 'one day...'

Get one....you'll love it!

I am 4 days into my R32 ownership and love it....different to the GTI, but imho a better drive.  And omg do they handle well when your pushing it.

Fuel consumption is err....err....interesting!  But a small sacrifice really.

Good luck and enjoy

The car came back from the dealers yesterday with a new mechatronics unit. It's a different car! Really. Moving off no longer has this hesitant, mini kangeroo, thing going on. It's just instant and smooth. In gear throttle response no longer feels hesitant either, it's just instant and responsive. The car feels quicker - the affect of instant acceleration I guess. Engine note sounds smoother and deeper under acceleration too - I'm wondering if the car was having clutch issues constantly that were just more pronounced from rest. Either way, I love it. Completely different now to last week.
