QUOTE Noticing a slight vibrating noise coming from somewhere around the dashboard of my Golf 1.4 TSI when I moderately accelerate from 1st or 2nd gear. The vibration goes away in a few seconds, but it sounds quite annoying.
Car is very new, mileage around 500km only.
Anyone knows if this is normal? Yes, noticed that also, but I think it doesn't come from dashboard, its from the engine...? it goes away after the car at D3 or higher when the car moves to 40+km/h...anyone seeing the same thing?? |

another thing, when i wanted to overtake juz now on my tsi, i stepped all the way down on my accelerator, but it juz didn't want to move much, i was in 'D' gear, like D5, and saw the rpm went from ~2k to 4k, around 80km/h, with air-con 24C on. But it felt like the car didn't want to move...mileage only ~28xx...please advise...thanks..

GTI also feel power loss ?? =.="
Mmm, just now around 7pm+, drizzling day...so temperature not as hot..my air-con is 1 LED lights up only, 1 speed nia...so tot its not bcoz of huge air-con blowing...and nope, not slope..flat road...
Checked my engine oil, not thick, and slighly black/dark...but my mileage 2.8k+ only..so i think its not bcoz of engine oil too?

ok...meaning it "auto" revs up the engine, 1 question here, if we let it free-wheel(no pedal pressing) at the time we change D->S, will it jerk? Or we need to press the pedal when changing? If we press pedal when changing D->S, the car will suddenly accelerates ahead?

QUOTE(ronaldjoe @ Sep 24 2011, 11:58 PM) It's not jerk. When it's in S mode, it would engage lower gear and pull to towards red line more before changing. Your foot need have a good technique to control pedal. DSG is more like manual, lifting your foot abruptly from the pedal would give you the sudden 'jerk'. Once you get used to it, driving a GTI is like taming a wolf to behave like a 'sheep'. That's my personal experience. hmm thanks for the advice..will try when traffic condition is clear . thanks |
