Consumer Description

ENGINE OCCASSIONALLY STALLS WHEN SHIFTING FROM A GEAR INTO NEUTRAL (FOR THE PURPOSE OF BRAKING). TODAY IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES STOPPING AT STOP LIGHTS, AND 2 TIMES IN PARKING LOTS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING, OFTEN, ALL WEEK (ONCE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, SLOWING FOR AN EXIT RAMP - ENGINE STALLS, POWER STEERING AND BRAKING GOES OUT, NOT GOOD). THIS PROBLEM WAS 'FIXED' AT AROUND 40K MILES WHEN A 'WASTE SOLENOID GATE' AND A 'TURBO VALVE' WERE REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP OVER 3 SEPARATE VISITS. THE STALLING WAS GONE FOR ABOUT 6000 MILES, BUT NOW IT HAS RETURNED. THIS MAY BE CONNECTED WITH THE 'CHECK ENGINE LIGHT' WHICH WAS ON AT THAT TIME, AND HAS FLASHED ON RECENTLY. I'M PLANNING ON TAKING IT TO A LOCAL VW SHOP SOON TO GET THIER OPINION. DT
