Hi all,
First time on the forum btw. Firstly apologize for my reasonable poor english (every day is a learning day).
I just want to share with you all the frustration that I have right now.
Yesterday I bought a 2005 A3 3.2 quattro with DSG, the most powerful car I ever drove (really!). I came from Portugal last September to work here in the Midlands for JLR, and I finally had the opportunity to buy one car with an very uncommon engine from where I come from (too expensive) and just a few can afford it there, so it was like a childhood dream for me
Today I had a opportunity to truly test the machine, so I went to through the country road to Warwick with my girlfriend. I was very happy on those 30 miles to the destination but after a while it became a nightmare , the engine just went down. The Traction control light on the cluster switched on every time I started the engine and after 2 seconds it revved down until the engine cut off.
I realized as well that the DSG letter on the dash were flashing and the semi automatic didn´t work. Other thing that I realized is that the car on neutral was revving at 600rpm.
The car went straight to the dealer where I bought from in B´gham (independent dealer) and they took it to the mechanic. I don´t have a clue what it might be, maybe you have any??
So that was my Saturday, how about your´s??
Happy days!
