I have had my Mk6 for a few weeks now. Having just done over 1000km since new I decided to put the car into sport mode today and push her a bit. All was fine for the first few minutes until I did kick down at the lights. The whole car shock and couldnt seem to find the right gear, jerking slowly forwards and not really going anywhere. Put back into normal Drive mode and all was fine again. Anyone else had this problem? I will take her to VW tomorrow.

Well, this applies to everyone in London. :sad:

Nothing to do with front wheel drive or manual vs DSG, the car bloody stalled when I did kickdown in Sport mode. Surely something is wrong. Not happy.

It probably got confused tried to select two gears at once and got stuck between them. Try it a few more times and see what happens. Sounded to me like a Mechatronics control unit fault in the DSG gearbox.

Excuse the ignorance, what is a mechatronics control unit fault? Is that a serious issue?
Cheers for responding Snoopy

Its the control unit that slides inside the DSG gearbox to control it.
A good explanation of it is in this link

It could possibly be your fuel pump (not delivering enough fuel under load ) ?
I think this may be a common fault - have a read of this and see if it sounds the same :-

It is a GTi by the way (despite the forum) :laugh:

^^^ The EA888's (aka Mk6 GTI engine) aren't affect by fueling issues in the same way as the R due to the totally different design of the fuel pump :nerd:

If you read the link above it is in fact a 2011 Mk 6 GTi that had this problem despite his avatar and posting on the R forum !! (long story hence my last line above !!) and the VW Dealer had to replace the high pressure pump in the engine bay

Very helpful JonnyG, thank you. I know Helmi and it sounds like we have the same bloody problem. Off to VW now to cause a stink.
