vr6_blu 0 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Hi i recentley started getting a miss fire on my 1998 vr6 took it to a garage i use they done some checks turned out the leads and plugs were in a pretty bad state so got them changed and the car ran sweet.Next day after i started driving i noticed thats its developed a judder not a actual misire like before mainly in 2nd gear and as i go up the gears but it only does it between 1,000 and 2,000 revs after the 2,000 mark its fine.What i have noticed is if im gentle on the gas it dont really do it but if im more put my foot down it will do a few judders then go.I have also replaced the fuel pump recently for another genuine vag one but second hand.Some one said may its the math sensor is it im not sure just wondered if anyone had a simlar problem any advice would be great before it goes back to the garage cheers.

bungy 2 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 When did you last change the fuel filter? A cheap but usually missed area of the service. Link to post Share on other sites
