2010 VW GTI - White One!

[GregF]

VW does a pretty good job of warrantying the DSG. They know its not perfect and Ive never heard of anyone get turned away for a DSG claim (with a stock DSG). The waterpump can be a bitch if you dont catch it though. Mine decided to empty its entire contents in my garage and I didnt notice it until I came back from some errands. The problem I have with VW is that with these parts that fail a lot, they first replace them with one revision, and then come up with other revisions later on, because the first replacement still wasn't up to par. They've done this with the waterpumps, diverter valves and a few others.

Your issue sounds similar to mine. It seems like 1 of 2 things for me:
1. The last time it happened, my wheel was turned at full lock and the road was uneven. So one theory is that antitheft/alarm sensed the wheel position and engaged, disabling the car. It starts but stalls out just after turning over. The EPC (?), Traction, and a few other lights and notifications come up, but the alarm doesn't go off, which is why Im not certain this is the issue.
2. Its a Volkswagen. Its happend probably 4 or 5 times now but its inconsistent and isn't really a problem. Remove the key and try it again and it starts up without a problem.

Coils in the 2.0T are so problematic. I swear they are the cause of 50% of the problems people have with these cars. Luckily they havent caused any problems for me, but I might upgrade to the R8 coils anyways.
