    Harsh (delayed) transmission engagement, worse in wet weather

    Sorry for the delay, the idle RPM is around 700 / 750. It doesn't change when the AC comes on and the engine is normally smooth at idle. I just ready that the issue likely has to to do the Auto hold and parking brake keeping the car in a stationary position for longer than it should and there...

    Harsh (delayed) transmission engagement, worse in wet weather

    One of I've been having this problem for about 2 years. During this time, several attempts were made to repair like resetting DSG etc (mentioned in original post). The only solid clue on cause is that one of my WSS's failed about a month ago. When this happened, the ABS/ESC stopped working and...

    Harsh (delayed) transmission engagement, worse in wet weather

    The car is under extended warranty. I need to pay a high diagnosis charge each time that is non-refundable however so not willing to return. Both dealerships I tried experienced it a few times (not every time). As there is no fault code, they said they cannot do more, so I'd like to take...

    Harsh (delayed) transmission engagement, worse in wet weather

    No fault codes (I have VCDS), problem worse in humid weather and/or slight incline with front lower. Seems related to Stability control - when ABS/ESC came off when wheel speed sensor failed, problem stopped until sensor replaced. Reset DSG twice, changed clutches and transmission fluid. None of...

    Golf MK7 drivers door no longer stops half way and very loosely swing open without any resistance. Can I easily fix on my own without removing door etc (minimal effort) or dealer job? Its not under warranty and wanting to minimise cost. Door closes and seals fine.

    Can DSG reset to re-adapt clutches worsen shift quality?

    DSG Shift quality has worsened over last few months (speed of shift, bucking, clunky etc.). Each only happens occasionally but definitely more often than before, specially in cold weather. I've driven other Golfs like mine without these issues. Clutch pack & DSG service was done 6 months...

Eg the Front Assist overreacts ie when I am far from the car in front it beeps and the front assist warning appears. Also the reversing camera that came with the car doesn't open. Any...

    Worsening DSG downshift clunkiness / poor rev matching over time

    I bought a used VW Golf 2014 TSI with 60k miles. I noticed the downshift was clunky (not smooth) with poor rev matching. I exchanged this Golf after a month for a 2013 (same model) with 20k miles. I drove replacement in cold weather & downshift seemed smoother. But mostly when hot outside, I...

    Damage with physical jerk/snap when gear engages?

    With Auto start/stop, car takes a few seconds to restart. To minimize wait to drivers I tend to rev engine while restarting so car starts off immediately which can result in a sharp physical jerk/snap as gear engages. Same for reversing, Reverse takes a few seconds to engage and I'm sometimes...
