Bugger
Hey Guys, new to the forum! It's a great spot for info (especially all Maverick's stuff!). I've been inspired to start some modding, too, as a result (RNS510 on the way, bluetooth, RVC a possible future mod) :bow:
I just purchased an '08 R32, I absolutely love it. When I test drove it, it was cold and didn't do any surging. But when I got home and reversed it into it's park spot, it did surge. I hope that the warranty still covers me, because it is still within the warranty period but I bought it from a private sale...probably shoulda checked that a bit closer before I made the purchase, eh?
I've noticed it surges only when it's warmed up. I don't get any bumps or thumps in the gearbox, but that surging is enough to make going slow in parking lots difficult. It also tends to surge when driving at speed. The tacho will vary from say 2500 - 2550 rpm in a very noticeable rhythm...when on cruise or off cruise, in manual or in Sports mode, it still does it. The engine doesn't surge when in neutral, so I am thinking it is gearbox related.
Is this the sort of problem that you had Maverick or does every DSG boxed golf surge at least to some extent???
