| Description of the problem | Engine shuts off/stalls when braking to a stop in a 6mt urano grey golf gti rabbit edition. On dozens of occasions at this point, with no check engine light or engine codes being dropped. I will be in neutral or with the clutch fully engaged, usually coming to a stop but has also happened when rolling slowly, and the car will stall out. It has been so gentle that i don't even notice until i press the gas and start moving and nothing happens. It has occurred during heavy braking and light braking, usually after a longer drive. Tends to occur in bursts, i've gone two weeks with no incidents and then on a single drive (after about 3 hours on the highway) it will occur multiple times in rapid succession, but won't be consistent. I am not stalling the car by having the clutch partially engaged or anything, i will be in full neutral or with the clutch to the floor and foot off the gas. I have had the issue when slowing to an intersection preparing for a turn, or when braking to a stop traveling straight. Have also had the issue when slowing down from highway speeds and stop-and-go traffic speeds. Its very difficult to pin down, with the exception of usually after extensive driving, haven't had it happen after a <10 min drive yet that i can remember. Currently being encountered by several other owners, and we're trying to consolidate what we know: https://www. Reddit.

Com/r/golfgti/comments/amh7h0/golf_gti_mk75_stalling_coming_to_stop_with_clutch/ the latest times in atl traffic when i was preparing to merge from a stop into traffic and it stalled out while moving slowly, its getting dangerous to lose power when you're in traffic and needing it. |
