| Description of the problem | While driving in seattle's notorious stop and go traffic, my a3 tdi, has stalled. It acts as if i have "dropped" the clutch, which is impossible being an automatic!!. This has happened to me on two occasions. There is less than 5k miles on my new car. Both time it has gone immediately into university audi. First time, no answers. Still waiting on diagnostics from today's episodes. |
