B6 Passat 103kW TDI - hesitation

[mikinoz]

in our golf we get a hesitation on a slight incline when accelerating lightly under load - the ECU has been restored to an updated setting, and was told that this should sort it out - it hasn't.

Like a miss in a petrol car.

strange, cna they do an ecu reset to clear any fault codes. I have a slight heistation when starting off but as per the reviews pretty much common to all passat's with DSG. Should try sport / manual mode again and see if any different. Also with / without auto hold function.

will report back, word is there is an update available to cure this, just annoying if you want to start off quickly you get the initial hesitation and then almost chirp the front wheels when the power kicks in.

Hi all,

Re this problem, on the 4 Jan 08, I decided to e mail VW Germany, indicating the problem of owners here and the USA, and the codes used to remap the the computer etc. To date, no reply!!!

Bump...

Anyone had any luck with this issue. My wife and I get regularly caught out in our 103kW Tdi sedan trying to beat gaps in traffic only to hit the massive flat spot... Ive started trying accelerating early to get around the issue.
