The vehicle has a long history of the throttle becoming inoperative resulting in no-power (idle power strictly speaking) conditions. That condition is cleared when the clutch pedal is depressed and released. Recently there was an instance of uncommanded acceleration: instead of no power, full power was applied by the engine. Again cycling the clutch cleared the condition. The no-power cases appeared more likely in…

Throttle lag either in start or moving from 1st to 2nd to 3rd to 4th to 5th to 6th. Felt more strong when using the tiptronic transmission in automatic. Also felt in manual but not as strongly, vehicle does not move when pedal depressed until approximately 10 to 20 seconds after applying pressure. Creates a dangerous situation when turning into or onto a street or highway. The expectation is the car will move, but…

I purchased a 2006 jetta tdi and my miles are off....it seems as though everyone i talk to with this car have the same problem. I am going 3-5 miles slower then what it is showing. I was thinking over time when i have driven 55,000 miles that i have only driven 50,000. I think this is wrong for a company to do and vw will not do a thing about it. *tr
