Mostly in D but also in S too. When I finally convince the dealer to do my steering rack I'll ask them to look into this also.
Again this isnt any kind of turbo lag or auto box delay, the engine cuts out on acceleration.

My misses has complained about exactly the same issue, now I can't imagine the dealer doing anything about it but I'm going to speak to Morego to see if they can write over the ecu to overcome it....

Update!

I find this has only happened on really hot days when the engine is working so hard with A/C etc.

A easy and effective way to overcome this is to just blip down one on your paddles, it'll reset to normal Drive after 10 seconds or so. 

Or you can pay 500 notes and get it remapped to provide more torque, this is an option I'm trying to get the misses interested in  :tongue:

Seems like this is 'normal' behaviour, as designed  :sick:

I must say here that, I think you will find the fuel cutoff issue is not isolated or related to the DSG system.

I drive a Manual Mk5 GTi and the exact same thing happens.  Usually as you leftfoot trailbrake into a corner with a small amount of power still applied, the engine completely cuts out for around 2 seconds and gradually rebuilds grunt again. This issue really impears my driving style through a series of twisting curves and does verge on dangerous.
The vehicle is a South African build and I am in Australia.  WOULD BE INTERESTED TO KNOW WHETHER THE SYSTEM CAN BE MODIFIED .
