Car is shaking, lights dimming and engine RPM fluctuating while Idle.
I have a 2017 GLI and recently the engine started to shake in the morning, when I get to the stop light down the street and am idling.
The engine has died a few times, but usually it just shakes the car and the interior lights flicker a bit.
Rev’ing up the engine while putting the car in nutural, stops the shaking and after reaching normal operating temperature, it does not do this.
Mechanic says there is nothing wrong and suggests that I check with VW for a software update.
Anyone on here have any thoughts?
I have changed the spark plugs already, and that had no impact on the issue.
Es esta una buena pregunta?

any time your lights are dimming while engine is on you may have a issue with electrical connections to the battery to uphold the voltage. A good mechanic will look at error codes first to see if the charging system is pulling down your RPM
