| Power Train problems |
The engine suddenly stalled with the clutch pedal fully depressed as I came to a stop from a slow speed. Then, as I tried to restart the engine with the clutch pedal fully depressed, the engine started with a very unsteady idle and stalled again. I repeated this process four times, and then the fifth time, applied the gas pedal during the unsteady idle, and the car was able to run again. This entire process did not cause a check engine light, and I have not been able to reproduce the issue.
I have bought the new 6 speed manual Gti this week and put 150 miles on it so far. Only 4 days after purchase, the car stalled while stopping with the clutch depressed during shifting to neutral, with no warning signs or errors.
