So the second day owning my 1g tsi and I found that if I put the clutch in while decelerating with the RPMs above 2k the car with sometimes stall out.
Today while driving I found that if I take to much time between shifting (leave the clutch in to long) it stalls out and when I let the clutch out in the next gear I'm actually jump starting the car.. I don't dump the clutch so it's a smooth jump start so I never noticed until I watched my tach when shifting slow.
Not a big deal I just have to shift before it dies, and let the RPMs drop before putting in the clutch right?
Well tonight when just going on a cruise I look like a complete idiot beside a Honda because at the light in neutral clutch to the floor my car dies down to 500 rpms and stalls out.
Okay not that bad, start it up again and with in 3 seconds it does it again.. this happened 3 times
The 4th time I gave it gas and kept the rpms at 1.5k. Light turned green and I pull away casually and when I'm around 3k I hear the Honda's "Vtec" hit so I put the pedal to the floor and pull past him with my tires squealing
Anyways... Where should I start with the stalling problem ..?
