| 1994 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM | THE GAS IS COMING FROM THE EXHAUST SYSTEM . PLEASE DESCRIBE .*AK |
| 2008 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | 1. THIS ISSUE IS MORE PREVALENT WHEN THE CAR IS WARMED UP, LIKE AFTER DRIVING FOR 20 OR 30 MINUTES OR SO. 2. MY CAR (VW JETTA '08 DSG) AUTOMATIC TRANNY OPERATION FAILS USUALLY WHEN IN 1ST GEAR (WHILE IN 'D' MODE) OR IN REVERSE SO THAT YOU EXPERIENCE VERY BAD "LURCHING" AND SURGING EFFECT. THE CAR WOULD SUDDENLY REV AND JUMP FORWARD A FOOT OR TWO THEN FEEL LIKE IT WAS IDLING WRONG AND FEEL LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE, THEN RUN FINE THEN DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. THIS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENT BECAUSE CAR WOULDN'T HAVE POWER TO MOVE WHEN ITS NEEDED FOR EXAMPLE IN T-JUNCTION. 3. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY WANT TO GET THE CAR IN TO FIX THE BAD MECHATRONICS UNIT. THE NEW MECHATRONICS UNIT PART WAS ORDERED AND IT WILL TAKE "SOME TIME" (NO LESS THAN ONE MONTH), NO EXACT DATE WAS GIVEN WHEN THEN NEW PART IS AVAILABLE AND READY FOR REPLACING. I FEAR THAT THE DSG REPAIRING IS NOT THE FINAL SOLUTION AND IT WILL TAKE LOTS OF REPAIRS TO GET THIS THING EVENTUALLY FIXED. *NOTE* CAR VIN SITE DIDN'T ACCEPT IT FOR SOME REASON. *TR |
