Title: Mk5 Gt tdi DSG jerking :(
Post by: Tomm on October 28, 2014, 04:58:26 pm: Hey

I have a mk5 gt tdi dsg. The car sometimes jerks a little bit when I’m driving. Also when the car is cold in the morning and i have it in drive whilst stationary at the lights the car jerks and sometimes cuts off, However when i put the car in neutral its fine. Its starting jerking a little bit when I’m driving even when the car has heated up. Something aint right :(

Does anyone know what this problem could be?

Thanks

If those fail then it gets expensive!

If that doesnt solve it, then could be mechatronic unit on its way out
