Stall thing seems to have been a 1 time thing, although other people on the forum seem to be able to recreate the problem. VW still hasn't released a TSB on the issue. Transmission has now been taken out of the car and resealed - leak should be fixed (although I have been too lazy too look.)
Also had a 1-time no-start condition that has left me stumped. Car was warm, went into a store, came back out and the car would not turn over - not even a click from the starter. Took the key out and tried again, and again, and again - nothing. Went and ate some dinner, came back and the car still wouldn't turn over. Tried to kick-start it in reverse 2 or 3 times - massive fail due to the electronic throttle spoiling my attempts. As I parked it, I figured why not try it 1 more time - turned the key and the car started right up :x .
Took it to the dealer, they said they couldn't find any loose connections and couldn't do anything unless they could recreate the problem. Anyone have a bright idea as to what could cause a condition like this? Cause I'm stumped.

Why do people just post what they are thinking? Without thinking.
