    Accelerating Felt Like It Sucked All Power Away

    Hi guys,

    One day I was in traffic & accelerated while changing lanes. But when I put my foot down there was absolutely no power. It felt like all the power was sucked away as I put my foot down. I feel like it was when the gear had changed but I was in a dangerous situation so didn't think to check the display.

    In the last couple months I've had this problem maybe 3 times.

    Does anybody know what could be happening?

    Thanks.

      Is it a DSG or manual?

        DSG but interestingly haven't had the problem since around when I posted. Can't think why.
