Hi All, had a strange occurance with my DSG equipped car this afternoon. I do get an occasional rough down shift into an even gear but leaving work this afternoon I was carefully pulling up to the junction onto the road, slightly uphill. Braking gently I felt the car pulling against the brakes, and dragging the engine down until it got to about 600 rpm. Presumably that was the point at which the anti-stall kicked in and pulled the clutch in, with a slight judder.

Anyone had this happen to them? I'm taking the car in for a service tomorrow, maybe get some answers but I'm not counting on it!

I've actually had mine stall when pulling out of a parking space! That was going from reverse to d and I was probably a little quick for the gearbox.

Never had it when slowing down though.

Certainly get them to check that out, especially as it's in anyway. Could be mechatronics related that?

Took the car in and the technician couldn't replicate problem, also said about another problem with the passenger door mirror not dipping when I select reverse to show kerb. It just wiggles for a few seconds before stopping. Tech found it would do this and then be fine a second time and then do it again etc. Had no idea what to do so I have to take it back in when the master tech is back at work GRRR!! Good fault finding skills are so hard to come by nowadays!

my a3 tdi dsg used to stall going into reverse.... turned out to be a porous cylinder head! bit of a random one i think

Exactly.

Computer says no.

Brain says nothing as it has no need to learn anything because its got a computer for that.

Mouth says Pay the bill and go.

Service manager says well done.

I feel your frustration Ian, hope you find a resolution.

Your mirror issue when selecting reverse is probably the memory motor in the mirror starting to fail. Mine does the same. I haven't fixed it as the issue only effects the reverse dip function.....otherwise the mirror works normally.

On scanning with VCDS there was a fault code stored for the mirror:- 00940 mirror adjust motor - electrical fault in circuit - intermittent

Did they take block measurements? Did they do guided fault finding? DSG should never stall, I'd try another dealer!
