Hoping some of you mechanics out there can give me some perspective. My 2007 GTI w/ 6sp DSG (162K) was just in the shop for oil, filter, heater core, thermostat and recirc flapper motor repairs. It's been maintained at the dealer since day one. It's a great car in great condition.
I picked it up in 18 degree weather and drove it home (about 20 miles). The next morning, while getting on the highway, I had what felt like 2 or 3 missed shifts as I was getting up to speed. I was at mid throttle and the car abruptly cut power and clunked. It was sketchy. It did not feel like a backfire, nor did it feel like ESP was intervening. I drove it straight to the dealer.
The car sat at the dealer overnight. They test drove it and claim there are no issues. No fault codes.
Can any of you think of a scenario that would explain how this symptom could be tied to the recent service? I've never experienced anything like this from the car before. Now I'm wondering if I need to trade it in soon.
Thanks!
