ThermalP4 1 Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Hi guys.Just picked up my new 97 Highline and just as i got it into the street i went to pull off and I had a few jerks; and once it got over 2krpm it was fine.I pulled back out of the street and went for a drive to investigate. Once i stop, say at the lights or drop below 1500rpm, once i put my foot on the throttle it will jerk and judder untill its over 2krpm and then everything is fine.Could this be a missfire?Its just been in to VW for a service before i picked it up and it did read on service sheet that a missfire was detected and a sporadic fault. They cleared the ECU of codes and then everything was ok apprently.Is it just a case of new plugs/leads? Link to post Share on other sites
