    Hi guys, I haven't updated this post in a while and I figured its time I ask a different question. So since my last encounter with the sales guy, I took the car in for servicing and they checked it thoroughly. The servicing dept told me that there was nothing wrong with the car mechanically...

    DSG problem or my driving style?

    Talked to my sales guy today, he said the service department has a new code upgrade for my car which may help the stalling situation.

    DSG problem or my driving style?

    Thanks for all the advice. I was skeptical at first but I think I really need to get the car back in the shop to see what's going on. I'll update the progress in case anyone else happens to have this issue in the future as reference. Pill
