Hi all,

I have a 2007 GTI and recently have had intermittent issues with the DSG jerking under acceleration in 5th gear. I also sometimes get it in 3rd aswell. The gear is engaged and if I put my foot down to accelerate a bit faster it's like something is slipping and I get a jerk in the car.

Has anyone experienced this before? Car was WOFed and serviced 2 months ago and the mechanic said the DSG seemed ok in terms of the fluid being clean etc.

It doesnt do it all the time so I'm hoping to figure out what it is before it gets any worse or ends up terminal.

Cheers in advance!

Nic.

Does it happen almost instantly after you touch the throttle?

Check the engine mounts, particularly the one under the trans (Dogbone).

My wife's car does this and the lower mount needs doing (But I'm procrastinating!)
