Hi guys, having picked up our new asg Up just before new year, have been really happy apart from one problem with gear changing/ loss of power. Basically what happens is when turning a corner or sometimes when going round a roundabout the car seems to lose power for a very brief time with you pressing the accellerator and no increase in power, seemingly in a brief limbo. The car will then spring forward in quite a sharp jumping motion having remainded powerless for the limbo moment. This has happened a number of times when turning into a road and have then experienced the limbo moment where I'm then facing oncoming traffic and not even moving, even though pressing(quite frantically) the pedal, but going nowhere!
Also when slowing down the gearbox changes quite smoothly, but when coming to a halt jumps quite sharply and uncomfortably pushing the car forward even though by this point break pedal being pressed-like a burst of power even though accellerator not even being touched!
The worst thing about this is that it is an intermittent problem and doesn't occur all the time. Having taken the car into our Volkswagen dealer today, it was taken for a test drive and of course didn't demonstrate any issues at all which concerns me as have had murder with garages in the past with intermittent problems with past cars and don't fancy a long drawn out time trying to get this problem remedied.
As said previously love the car and just want it fixed, but extra concern when mechanic who came on test drive stating that he and his colleagues hadn't hardly any experience with any problems on the Up and also had no idea what could be causing the stated issues.
Have scooted through the forum (great site by the way), and wondering if anyone else had these issues aforementioned, or am I hopefully the only one in a million that has had a dodgy gearbox?
Am really hoping problems can be resolved and car booked in for proper investigation so we wait and see. Any help or advice will always be gratefully received.
