Hi guys,


I bought my Golf TSI 1.4 in Dec 2010, done 17k by now and just went for my 1st service. Three days ago when I was driving the car, i can feel my car shaking and the engine check light blinking. The problem went worsen as i accelerated, the gearbox is having engaging issues, car shake and engine check light blinking. Sent my car to the SC and service advisor tested the car and ask me the leave there overnite for checking. Collected my car the next day, SC said they updated to latest software and problem solved. Drive the car for one day, the problem came back today, I am going to service centre again tomorrow...WTF!!
Any Tsi owners experienced this issue before??? Please help. Thanks in advance.

Did u get this problem after your 1st service? If yes, the SC probably screw up something.. Is your car remapped by any chance?

I've been to most of the sales centres in klang valley, and all the sales reps have not received any complaints from the owners. This may be the first TSI owner with a DSG issue. I also have a couple of colleagues at work who drive problem free GTIs and TSIs. Then again, anyone can post anything to the benefit or disbenefit of VGM. No pun inteded machiato. All posts to be taken with a pinch of salt.

Maybe can check with VW SG owners as for 7 speed DSG there are facing quite a lot of issues.
So maybe there already got solution for the above problem.

** My bro VW Scirocco also having gearbox issues since first month until now since not solved...

First SC I went is Sungai Besi. Collected my car back from 2nd SC, they managed to found out the issue. It's one the individual ignition coil got problem and caused misfiring so the car juddering. They changed the coil for me, still feel not as smooth as before.( may be psychological ) but car not judder like before. Hope everything is fine, let's see!! I will update you guys days later.


Thanks for the concern.

As i heard from my bro...gearbox up shift and down shift not smooth, not engaging properly...
His car been tow back to SG once due to battery flat as Scirocco doesn't have key hole for manual
entering and ended up found out alarm issue.
