I just recently (yesterday) purchased a 2007 Volkswagen GTI MKV DSG automatic, and after driving it for about an hour straight it started to act up really bad. The malfunction indicator lamp (check engine light) came on and it would almost stall for a second in third gear. I'm new to the DSG transmission so I may have let it rev a little too high for awhile but nothing too serious. The problem got so bad I had to shift to 4th as soon as possible or i'd lose power and almost stall. I let the car cool down and went for a drive an hour later and the light was still on, but I didn't stay in 3rd gear long enough to see if it still stalled because I was on a busy road. I went to the car wash and after a 20 minute wash I got in, and the light was off. It drove fine. I drove it about 20 miles and not a problem. Does anyone know why this happened and if its serious? Thanks.
