| Description of the problem | My 2008 volkswagen golf r32 has dsg issues. The transmission is not smooth when going from a stop (brake applied) to go (gas pedal). Sometimes the dsg gearbox goes into neutral as well while having the gas pedal pressed and in motion. I know there is a current voluntary recall for some mkv vw vehicles, but r32 golf's should be looked at as well. Please help! |
