[Audi A3/S3] tdi dsg stalling

[Odsal102]

I've been running a new 2.0tdi dsg for 3 weeks and on a small number of occasions - 5 so far - when you stop with the car in gear on low- or no-revs, it just stalls. Restarts fine, but I can't think this is a "normal" running behaviour of the dsg and/or the tdi.

Has anyone else had this problem? Any thoughts anyone, before I return to the dealer?

I have noticed that this happens with me when the car is cold. Only happens when it hasnt been run for a few hours.

I was going to raise it with my dealer when I was next in town. It should not do it though...

I'm on my second 2.0 TDI DSG and have had this problem with both of them. At the first junction I stop at every day (ie when engine is cold) it always sounds as though it is about to stall, but just about manages to stop itself. On a number of occasions when changing from reverse to drive the engine has actually stopped, this has happened with the engine both cold and at running temp.

Bring back manual chokes I say.

Mine has only ever stalled first thing in the morning. I reversed out of the drive, put it in D and pressed the throttle lightly and it stalled.

It does worry me when it rolls backwards when in D though, when stopped on a hill.

Mine was fine when new, but has now covered 6800 miles and has started to stall - usually when first putting into R or D when cold. Also the engine 'hunts' when idling in traffic when cold and sounds like it is going to cut out, but hasn't done so yet.

I also don't like the way that the car rolls back when in D on a hill. You can't use the handbrake with the centre armrest down anyway.
