Hello everyone
iv recently purchased a Tiguan 2.0 TDI SE Navigation DSG Euro 6, 18 plate.
love the car but I am new to automatic and wonder is the below normal or a sign of an issue?
when I first start the car and move it into drive it doesn’t always creep by itself, then after Iv got bored of waiting and apply some gas the car jerks forward and then drives off fine.
If I first put the car into reverse, it creeps back by itself fine and I then move it into drive and it doesn’t creep and then jerks after I apply gas.
I’m not certain yet but it seems to be only when being driven after being left for a while or the first drive of the day.
another example, I was parked on a slight slope and needed to drive forward. I put the car into drive, foot on foot break, released hand break and whenever I released the foot break the car would start to roll back and the creep wouldn’t kick in, I was worried to leave it too long to kick in, as there was fence behind me! So I hit the gas and the car jerked forward and then drove fine.
thanks all, appreciate any advice or words given!
regards
