Hi guys,
I bought an Edition 30 DSG last monday and found out recently that the RPM surges by around 100-200 at low revs in 1st, 2nd and reverse. Gear changes are smooth apart from every now and again 3rd to 2nd makes a small 'engaging' sound rather than a clunk. This problem only appears when the car is warm.
I have read through many threads about the mechatronics failing so took it to VW inchcape on the wirral yesterday, to which they said...
Carried out road test with customer. Confirmed slight surge forward in 1st and 2nd. Carried out test with master tech, no faults stored in memory of the vehicle. Not believed to be gearbox related - please allow to develop.
Am I right in thinking that VW are, for want of a better word, fobbing me off? The car jerks from a standstill once warm, its practically impossible to get it to drive off smoothly without kangarooing unless you put your foot down. Also in 6th gear at 50mph you can see the rev counter moving up and down slowly like a surge.
Not really sure which route to take as I have phoned the dealer I bought it from and he said 'VW can find no faults so there is nothing wrong with the car'... They will only take a 2nd opinion from a main dealer and won't accept one from the likes of Awesome GTI in Irlam who I was thinking of going to.
I have performed a DSG reset which didn't help whatsoever, I have also tried changing spark plugs but no improvement. Also checked the car with a VCDS but no fault codes being thrown up whatsoever!
I have 6 months warranty on the car but want to get this sorted asap, the limit is only 1k on the warranty. The car has full VWSH, DSG serviced at 43k miles and the car is on 51k
Really appreciate all your replies in advance as I can see this slowly becoming a giant headache.
Thanks
Ian
