| Description of the problem | When reversing it is choppy/jerky, as if i am pumping the accelerator. The same happens when in traffic at low speeds. Also sometimes the car is slow to accelerate as in the rpms's increase but the car is not going any faster. I am stationed in germany and the dealer has a dsg mechetronics unit on back order for the last 2 months. The dealer is the is the one who determined that there was a problem and informed me of the problem. The car has done this since day 1 so i assumed it was normal. |
