Title: GTI 7.5 Flat spot
Post by: Neil69 on 09 July 2024, 18:31

Hi All,
Recently my 2017 GTI Mk 7.5 (manual gearbox) has started to occasionally get a flat spot, at different speeds, where if I put my foot down nothing happens.. If I drop a gear it takes off again but if I put in clutch the engine dies and sometimes restarts on its own or ‘start engine manually’ comes up on the dash..
Any ideas..?
Thanks
Neil

Ideally you need to get it scanned with VCDS, or an alternative diagnistic tool, which would flag up any fault codes if there's any stored in the ECU.
