2019 Volkswagen Golf: check engine light

Filed Oct 10, 2023 · NV

I was driving and the spring from the grab handle (driver side) popped out and hit me by my left eyebrow. At home, I tried to compare the driver side grab handle with the front passenger grab handle to see if I can fix it. As I grabbed the handle and the spring became loose and it is now sideways (picture) In addition, according to my repair log, my GTI was serviced to repair the right side rear passenger grab handle on 18 Jan 2020. I have a service appointment tomorrow 11 Oct 2023 to repair the grab handles and a check engine light.

The engine completely failed while driving normally and lost power while on the highway, doing highway speeds. I had no power to safely exit the highway and it became extremely dangerous for surrounding traffic as I had to slow down. The problem has been confirmed by a Volkswagen dealer. Yes the vehicle has been inspected by Volkswagen. No warning lights or check engine lights prior to the failure

The car idles rough during initial cold start up, intermittently hesitates during acceleration and feels like it misfires during cruising. My dealer found that the ignition timing was retarded by 5º and told me to use better gas, citing a VW field service action . The problem persisted after they treated the fuel. The car has never thrown a code causing the check engine light to turn on, and so the dealer has declined to investigate further. My records show the car was only filled with premium fuel, using VW recommended brands (BP, Exxon, Mobil, Shell) in the 2,000 miles prior to the service appointment and was only filled with regular fuel twice (due to the Colonial Pipeline shutdown) since the car was delivered new from the dealer.

Engine stalls. Intermittent. Problem relates to 2019 gti (s model) with 6-speed manual transmission. When fully warm or hot, the engine randomly stalls with transmission in neutral and when braking to a stop, usually with the clutch depressed and usually at speeds from 10-0 MPH. The engine stalls are gentle with no stuttering or shaking. Example: coming to a stop at a stop sign or in heavy traffic, the engine quietly dies without warning. Engine restarts and runs normally thereafter until the next unexpected stalling event. Vehicle purchased new in may of 2019. First stall at 250-300 miles. Most recent stall on 6/30/19 at 1150 miles. No "check engine" warning appears on dashboard. No error codes show up via obd-2 diagnostic scan. 92 octane chevron gas used exclusively. Owner has decades of experience driving manual transmissions with no issues until now - doubtful this is operator error. Vw dealer is friendly, but baffled.

2019 golf gti se 6mt purchased with 12 miles. Engine randomly stalls in neutral when rolling to stop with clutch fully disengaged after having downshifted to either second or first gear. This has happened (3) times since picking up the brand new car (4) days ago. The electronic display that shows which gear you are in has also reported the wrong gear once (so far). This is an issue affecting *many* 2019 golf gti owners. Here are some notes of the issue so far: - 6-8-19 @ 1am (131 miles) - no cel - clutch was out and car was in neutral coming to stoplight in left turn lane. Going less than 5mph when car died. Seemed like it happened when the tach was at idle-range. Restarted with button. - 6-8-19 @ 10:56pm (225 miles) - no cel - pulling up to driveway. Car died at less than 2mph going up a very slight hill when clutch was depressed to go into first from neutral. Was going *very slow* when this happened. Restarted with button. - 6-9-19 @ 3:30pm (276 miles) - no cel - brother was driving with me in the passenger seat. Pulling up to stop sign in his neighborhood and he was in neutral with clutch out slowing to a stop and the car softly died again. Restarted with button. - 6-9-19 @ 11:44pm (418 miles) - no cel - driving up a street in a neighborhood going 20-25mph in 2nd gear and the display between my tach and speedo said I was in 3rd and should shift into 4th. When I crested the hill and hit the brakes to slow down for a part of the street that was damaged, the gear displayed switched to 2nd (which is what I was in and hadn't changed). These issues are very well documented by drivers in enthusiast forums such as reddit and golfmk7.com.

I have a white gti rabbit with a manufacture date of 10/18. Vehicle engine stalls when coming to a stop. This occurs with the vehicle in neutral regardless of whether or not the clutch is depressed and happens during city driving. The vehicle exhibited this problem around 3000 miles and has occurred several times since. It does this every so often in an unpredictable manner and am unable to repeat it. Also noticed that the gear selector on the dash acts erratically when this happens sometimes showing 4-2 or 4-3 or 2-3 before the stall occurs. No dash lights come on. There are no check engine lights. Vehicle requires a restart by pushing the start button before driving again. Am afraid that this will happen during freeway driving.
