My amarok just did that for the first time ever today. I had to pull over and restart the car and the problem went away. Have you sorted the issue out yet? I would love to know what the problem is. Cheers

Delayed acceleration

Volkswagen Amarok 2017 4 cyl 35000 miles
When I put my foot down on the eccerator there is a 3-4 sec delay before the engine starts to accelerate. It is an auto & when I come to a stop the gears take a few seconds to get back to 1st as I hear & feel them changing.

Car jerks/jumps when dropping gear

Volkswagen Amarok 2016 Dual can 217000 miles
So recently have a problem arise where when I am coming to a stop my car jolts/jumps when going from 3rd to 2nd in drive, when in manual gear select it doesn’t. Any ideas if it’s a stuffed gearbox or if lack of lubricant in the gearbox.

I have recently had to replace the rear tailshaft in my 2013 amarok at 235000km. Is there any vibration in the rear end at about 80km/h?
If so, check the rear uni joint at the diff for wear.

Vw amarok goes into limb mode

Volkswagen Amarok 2012 2.0L 266000 miles
Hi my 2012 vw amarok 2.0L Biturbo tdi drives very well when i overrev then change gears 3000rmp + ,but when i drive normal the power is very weak and then it goes into limb mode. It looks like the turbo does not work when the rpm is 3000 and less , but when the rpm is 3500 you can feel and see the power of the turbo.

Gearbox failure

Volkswagen Amarok 2018 Double cab  13048 miles
After 9 months and 21000km, the engine wouldn't start. VW service found dead short in gearbox. They said not repairable and ordered a new Transmission. When transmission removed, mechanic said and showed me immusification in oil cooler lines. They drained oil and found the colour brown and water in bottom. Now VW will not replace under warranty. Now going through Govt to force them to replace transmission. Service manager admitted there was no evidence of vehicle being submerged. This is totally unacceptable.

4x4 issues

Volkswagen Amarok 2013 2.2 70000 miles
Hey every one. Just for issues with my 4x4 on my amarok. My tyres seam to be binding up and ripping up the ground when driven in 4wd even when driving straight.

Does anyone know what could be the issue?
