Juddering

Post by AdamCaban »

Anyone know about the car juddering when low revs like when going up a hill? It’s all good but sometimes it judders when building up speed.... any help would be ideal

Not sure if this is mechanical or electrical. Based on the conditions you describe I've experience the same problem which was traced to a faulty on-plug coil unit (or two, can't recall) and was worse in damp weather. It also occurred going up a hill under load. If you need to replace these I'd go for genuine VW units. More recently I have some juddering when resuming take off at low speeds from a rolling start or a standing start. This usually occurs after having come down from a higher speed (e.g. 50 mph). This problem has been there a long time (several years) but recently occurs more often. Still trying to figure out whether that is due to a general electrical gremlins problem, or mechanical.
