Urgent help needed
« on: December 24, 2013, 08:30:33 am »
So I've just been out in the car and I was on the highway in fourth then put it into fifth and my car started to shake and shudder so I put it into sixth and it got worse so bad I honestly thought the engine was about to fall out!

Has anyone ever experienced this?

Also my transmission light kept flashing!

I've lately just had my car remapped and installed a CAI

Sounds like a failing coil pack but you really need to get it scanned.

Could this be my clutch slipping?

Sounds more like a dodgy coil pack but to be sure i would suggest finding a friendly forum member on the VCDS Register to scan your car - http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,120.0.html
