Hi All, My car is 1.4TSI with DSG. I was on a highway doing 110 kph. Flicked the gear stick to sports mode to overtake a truck. Car lost the power instantly and started slowing down. Lucky, I didn't ran into oncoming traffic. No fault lights came on. It sounded like a slipping clutch when I tried to accelerate. It also felt like the car was running out of fuel(the more I accelerated, the more it slowed down). Luckily there was some room to pull over. Everything was back to normal as soon as I stopped the car. That was the scariest experience I ever had in a car. I am going to take it to the dealer this week. Is this the infamous VW DSG problem?

Check out the various threads on Fabia vRS DSG 1,4 tsi twincharger with 7 speed. This might help.
