2017 Volkswagen Golf / Rabbit / GTI 4dr Hatch
turbocharged 292hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual AWD
| 53000 mi | air pressure sensor |
| 5767 mi | Manual Transmission Clutch occasionally slips under full throttle acceleration at highway speeds. Inconsistent, difficult to reliably reproduce. Under application of throttle, revs will rapidly rise without accompanying increase in vehicle speed, revs will then settle back to a normal rate of increase in keeping with the car's acceleration. Vehicle is unmodified. Tech test drove vehicle with me, unable to replicate. Advised to return when problem becomes more pronounced. |
2017 Volkswagen Golf / Rabbit / GTI 4dr Hatch
turbocharged 220hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD
| 1000 mi | Clutch squeaks when engaged |
| 57000 mi | During two different open track events, EPC warning light came on, and limited the boost and the revs to 4000rpm |
| 60000 mi US $3100 |
Third clutch on the car. replaced DM flywheel, throw out bearing, pressure plate and rear main seal (preventative) |
| 17689 mi | Slipping clutch. Release bearing was sporadically applying pressure to the pressure plate and causing the clutch plate to slip. Clutch disc became glazed. New clutch kit and release bearing installed. |
| 18000 mi | Manual transmission catches when going into gear (2nd, 3rd and 4th gear) Also experiencing drive line slop (slack or play) when on and off throttle. Especially at highway speeds when lightly getting on an off throttle. This was during the same visit, but as with the other problem, the service tech could not duplicate the problem. |
| 5000 mi | Clutch pedal assembly was replaced due to a squeaking sound. Functioned normally but after filling out an online survey from VW noting the noise, I was contacted by an engineer who met me at a nearby dealer along with a rep from the vendor who made the assembly and they determined that a new assembly should be installed. |
