The car is stalling on me when I stop for lights or breaking down to make a 90 degree turn. This only happens when the ambient temperature is higher than 90 degrees. It occurs more often when I have the A/C on. I have been noticing that my RPM would drop down to really really low (like 0-100). Sometimes, I would be able to save it by shifting to neutral and push down on the gas. When I do that the RPM would return to 800 instead of 100 or 0. I did a throttle position adaptation, but it didn't help. So, I am out of options on what to do.

Just to let you know why I really want to fix this. Today, I almost hit this other car because the car stall and lost power steering when I was making a turn. Luckily, the car pulled out before I got there.

I posted this problem a couple weeks ago, and got some reply. If I recall, BetterThanVW said that he has the same problem. The dealer replaced the throttle valve, but it didn't solve the problem. I was wondering if any of you are experiencing this same problem and was able to solve the problem. I am out of warranty and don't want to the dealer replacing parts after parts at my expense.

Thanks in advance.

Get a vag tool and pull the codes. That's a good first step.

There is no error code except the low voltage at Pin XX caused by unplugging the ECU.

Possibly your Idle control valve.

Shift into neutral or put in the clutch before stopping.. jk
