DSG GTi cutting out
« on: 11 June 2007, 14:02 »
Hello all - new around here other than to say hello when I put my order in, hello again now shes finally arrived. 

Just ticked over to 1,200 miles (2 months old) and has developed an infuriating fault: at low revs or idle in D, S, R or paddles the engine will just cut out completely and without warning, never had the problem if its idling in N or P, (first time this happened I was in the middle of the magic roundabout at Hemel, can't imagine much of a wose place to be with no engine!).  Will start again straight away (of course once N or P is engaged) with no problem.   Its maddening as it only happens now and again and inevitably it will behave when I take it back in to the dealers.... :angry:

Anyone else had similar issues or suggestions?

Matt

Does the computer display anything in particular when the problem happens? Such as showing ALL selected? I had that and it was a failed Mechatronics Module on the DSG. Your dealer should be able to diagnose your fault very quickly.

No - nothing like that at all, no display warnings or anything odd  :sad:

Hope you are right about the dealer....

Thanks!

Do you find it happens when the car is just warming up or does it happen when it's at normal operating temp ?

I had a problem with my last MKV DSG (albeit the diesel version). It kept cutting out just as I put more throttle on - does yours do the same?
   If so then it could be the ECU controller, as mine was replaced under warranty and there were quite a few threads on other forums quoting the same issues.

Seems to do it hot or cold...

Sounds a bit more like Hurdy's problem although happens when I engage a "gear" rather than putting the throttle on.  Did you have any issues at higher revs?

Got to wait a week to get it into the dealers due to a shortage of courtesy cars...grrrr...
