Hi, newbie here.
Exeo ST 2.0 TDI DSG, 2012, 48k.
Had for a few months and loving it! However...
About once or twice a week the car will 'hang' at 1500rpm whilst driving. It will accelerate past it without an issue, but won't go down unless I come to a crawl where it will go into idle after clinging to 1500rpm for as long as possible. Even if I let off the accelerator, the car will begin to slow but RPM remains the same. So if I'm cruising at 30mph, it's at 1500rpm rather than closer to 1000rpm. Whilst doing this, it will stay in a lower gear than usual, and will not let me change up a gear using the paddles.
No strange noises occur. I have not managed to find any pattern to it, it can go into this 'mode' when starting the car or whilst driving. It can also go back to normal during a drive (only after being at idle).
It will remain like this for maybe a couple of hours or more than a day, or even just half an hour. Random every time.
It's not a huge concern, as it drives ok. But I'm worried about accelerated clutch wear, increased fuel consumption and its also less smooth to drive at lower speeds when this happens.
Hoping someone else has had the issue but Google searching has found nothing! I might try and get a video of it at some point.
Thanks for reading!
