Volkswagen GTI owners have reported 2 problems related to engine noise (under the engine and engine cooling category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Car sporadically stalls at stop while clutch is depressed. Usually in 1st gear but sometimes neutral or 2nd. I notice it more when engine sound is set to sport mode. Usually the stall is silent, twice the car slightly shuddered. Dealer has had it for a week with no ability to predictably recreate. No codes/faults are thrown, thus no diagnosis. Car is at warmed up operating temperature when stalls occur. Stalls are always on city streets on a straight path (I. E. Tires are not in a turned position). Purchased car with 12 miles on it, stall occurred 5 times between 20 and 85 miles. Dealer sent me home with instruction to come back if it happens again; car stalled 3 miles away from the dealership and I immediately returned the car to them for further research. Still no diagnosis.
