Hi all, thanks for all of the great information on this forum. I'm having some problems with my 2011 Golf TDi 6 speed manual at 7,300 miles and just dropped it off for the dealer to check out. I'm looking for any feedback or advice people might have about the things I've been experiencing- and getting worse, over the past couple thousand miles:
* Issue 1
Shaking/bouncing oscillating or quivering sensation, abnormal
Clear feeling of an impact/thud/clunk and roughness when accelerating and also when letting off the accelerator, going into engine braking: 60 MPH accelerating and then letting off the accelerator in forth gear is worst example.
Worst at highway speeds, at first occurred only on the highway, feels like something is undampened, bouncing around. Felt through seat/cabin and a little bit in the steering wheel.
Worsened to all the time any speed (over 3 month span)
Pulsing vibration felt through the clutch pedal- worst in mid-travel- did not do this as noticeably when new- felt even at idle and in neutral.
Possibly?
Motor mount/transmission mount problem , Axle, cv joint, loose front subframe bolts?
Issue 2:
Occurred 1 time 12-19-11
Early morning 17 degrees in morning drive to work, then in 40s in afternoon. One drive home, car started normally- then when I accelerated into first gear, the car briefly lost power- noisy, violent engine stuttering- thought it would stall- floored it for a second or two to keep it going, then was fine the rest of the drive
Possibly?
intercooler icing issue?- TSB exists for winter intercooler kit.
Does this sound like intercooler icing? It turned over no problem.
Thank you very much for any input- expecting a call from the dealer tomorrow...
