Rough idle,stalling DSG

Featured Replies

Hi everyone

 

 Moved over to a superb after being a Mercedes man for years and so far its been as good as gold, but the last couple of weeks it has had the odd rough idle and yesterday while driving it was going up into D6 even at low speeds and felt a little clunky, could keep it in a lower gear by dropping it into sport, but everytime i went to stop it didn't seem to drop into 1st gear and then stalled, it would restart and be in 1st to allow me to pull away but something is amiss, am guessing it may well be a DSG fault but has anyone got any ideas what it could be before i start to look at getting rebuilt or swapping the box out for another.

 

 Thanks 

Maybe needs Dsg oil and filter change?

@nigel74 how many miles has the car done and when was the DSG serviced last. 

Also sounds a little like normal behaviour but maybe exacerbated by needing a service?

These boxes do hunt for as high a gear as possible and also some like to pull away in 2nd. Also seen reports of stop/start kicking in before becoming stationary.  Not saying it should be like that but what you describe matches reports of others.
