FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE CAR WAS PARKED. I ATTEMPTED TO START THE ENGINE, BUT IT DID NOT TURN OVER. I TRIED A SECOND TIME AND NOTICED WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE ENGINE HOOD. BY THE TIME I WENT INSIDE TO CALL FOR ROAD SERVICE AND RETURNED TO THE PARKING LOT, THERE WERE FLAMES SHOOTING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE CAR WAS DESTROYED. *TR

PRNDS LIGHTS FLUSHING AND DSG SHIFTING PROBLEMS. CAR STOPPED ON RED LIGHT WITH DSG IN D POSITION. ON GREEN LIGHT, CAR MOVED AND ACCELERATED BUT, RPM RAISED ABOVE 4000 AND GEAR DOES NOT SHIFTED TO THE NEXT STAGE. SPEED CONTROL WAS DIFFICULT. ADDITIONALLY, CAR HAD A BLINKING SHIFTER "D" LIGHT. I STOPPED THE CAR AND ATTEMPTED TO CHANGE DSG TO S, N, P BUT, SHIFTER LIGHTS CONTINUE TO BLINK. ONLY AFTER TURNING MY CAR COMPLETELY OFF AND RESTART, DSG MALFUNCTION HAD BEEN FIXED. FORTUNATELY, IT HAPPENED AT LOW SPEED AND DID NOT LEAD TO LOST OF CONTROL. *TR
