    Golf 90TSI DSG stalling

    Hi,

    My wife's car has stalled on her twice now as she has come to a stop at an intersection. Both times it has occurred within 500 metres of home. She is able to start it again without problems

    Has anyone else experienced this?

    Cheers,
    Dave.

    Is the car rolling up hill to the intersection? Is she stopping fully? Or just slowing down almost to a stop? In drive or sport mode? Is it coming home or when leaving home with a cold engine?

    It happens on level ground. She is fully stopped but it could occur just before stopping. The two times it has happened she is leaving home and she has drive selected.

    Up here is Darwin cars get to operating temp quickly. The first occurrence I would say the engine was half way to being at normal operating temp. On the second occurrence the car had been driven earlier so would be very close to being at normal operating temp.

    There is a ECU flash update for this and a few other issues
    Go to your dealer to sort it out

    That's interesting. How'd you hear about that?

    Mine's stalled a couple of times, but it wasn't a problem at the time (once I remembered to turn the ignition off fully before restarting that is).

    Perhaps from VW Golf VI - typical faults and problems, recalls
    Although if it is the same issue it should have been addressed on any 90tsi after July last year which would mean all of the ones here in oz. So cause could be something totally different.
