I drive a 2012 DSG, stock, with 17" snow tires. I was driving home yesterday afternoon in bad weather (snow) and every few minutes the car kept suddenly losing power for a fraction of a second, then it would kick back in. As if it suddenly slowed down and then sped back up. I was driving at around 60mph, and the problem only happened on the highway. Once I got onto surface roads it was fine. It happened both with and without cruise-control.
It only happened yesterday afternoon. Not yesterday morning, and not today in the morning. Also, no warning lights on the dash, and no funny sounds.
I called the dealer, they said that they would need to replicate it or see a light on the dash. Maybe I was slipping on ice. Is it possible that this was the traction control (or stability control or ASR) kicking in? I didn't see that "anti-skid" light on the dash. Does the car simply de-power when you hit a slippery patch at speed?
