Strange engine behaviour in 2017 Volkswagen Jetta

Asked by Kenneth Phin

I have recently purchased a 2017 VW Jetta and when driven at very slow speed it creeps and surges, for example when parking in a car park or similar. Is this a problem due to new technologies — gearbox or turbocharger?

It shouldn’t be doing that. Take it back to your dealer and demonstrate what it’s doing and ask to explain it or fix it.
