2004 MK5 Comfortline DSG

hey guys, i went to test drive one today, but the car feels like its very sluggish. lets say if i put it from N to D with out accelerating it feels like its going to stall.. the owner says that is normal

2004... that's got to be one of the very early Mk5's then - which engine was it? I'm guessing 2.0TDI by the DSG - I didn't realise they were even here in 2004 (I had a 2006)...

Have you had a diesel before? Maybe look at a few other Mk5's with the same engine & box & see if they're the same - I've always thought the Mk5's had a particularly low idle - I thought my R32 was going to stall on me today!

Check which engine it is - the 1.9 (77kw, 250nm) and the 2.0 (103kw, 320nm) were both offered with dsg, the 2.0 has much imroved performance.
