Ok, got a new issue. Mk8 eTSi 1.5 DSG.
Car was fully warmed up after a 50 mile journey. I came up to a junction, slowing down, and then turned left. I didn’t stop rolling but I was down to crawling pace as i did not have priority.
Once round the junction I accelerated and nothing happened. The petrol engine was not running. But I did continue crawling at a slow walking pace for about 30 metres, until I pulled over.
This was on a slight incline, so I should have just rolled to a halt in a few metres. It felt like the electric motor was pulling me along, but of course that should not run on its own - it is only there to supplement the petrol engine.
I shut the car down, and restarted it, and it now works fine. I have had no error messages at any point.
My gut feel is that the stop/start system shut the engine down as I approached the junction (stop/start on this car is very aggressive- it kicks in very early and I frequently see the message “coasting“ on the dash), and then failed to restart the engine when needed.
Anyone else had this ?
Thanks,
Pete
