lumpy

Hello! It's me again, with more problems :( so a few weeks ago I had a problem with the turbo and the car running in limp mode, I have since changed the MAF sensor and the car seemed to be running fine. however, since then I have noticed that the car is running lumpy, usually on lower rev...

Hey all... Hard to describe, but when I first pull away in first and second the engine sort of jumps as if its dying and then coming back suddenly, so you end up kangarooing a bit. After a few moments it is fine. I have also noticed that if I give it a few revs, say 1.5k to 2k revs just...

trying to get hold of a diognostic kit by the weekend, but does any one have any ideas/experianced this? it seems to be below 2000rpm and its intermitant its seems to be missing almost, but more freqantly almost all the time when accelerating quite hard there is excesive black smoke, black being...

Hi, Hope someone can help me on here. I have a 2000 Leon Cupra and it has started to run really rough, but not all the time. On a drive tonight it seemed like it kept wanting to stall and stuttering whilst driving along. When this happens the temp gauge reads normal but after a while the gauge...

2002 IBIZA 130 TDI SPORT the car runs very lumpy when cold. The engine wobbles like its misfiring. When it gets to running temp it runs smooth. Had it checked out and it’s coming up with nothing. Everything is working fine. No codes at all. ANY IDEAS?

I know this subject has been covered before in parts but I have decided to put together a small guide to culminate all the info I have read up on this fault Recently I’ve been getting rough tick over and hesitation when pulling away from cold so I decided to investigate with the help of vag...

Hi, I noticed this morning, and again this afternoon that my DSG gearchanges were not as smooth as usual. The car feels like it is lurching during gearchanges at low speed. Could this be a fault? Clutch problem? The best way I can describe the feeling is that it felt like the clutches were...

Hi y'all the wife and I bought a 2001 18t cupra today and we love it. Problems started when we got near home and found the idling was getting lumpy and the car was on the verge of cutting out, so frustrating. We have 12 months warranty on it so no problems but what could be the cause of...

Ullo all, i've noticed that my car has started to misfire a quiet a bit on idle whether warm or cold! A quick check with vag com shows that it's on all the cyclinders! However it's not bad enough to bring up a misfire fault! There was an error the intake manifold runners i'll post the log when...

come up to some traffic light went to pull away and revved up to about 2k as i pulled away, then the revved intermittantly just drop as i was applying the power, causing my to nearly stall - next to no power at all for that second or so. further up the road in 4th at about 30, same thing was...

I went out in the LCR210 for dinner today, and on the way back I got my toe down. The car was warm and to be fair I was driving quite hard. Anyway, Just as I was getting back towards work I noticed the light on the dash that looks like an engine (sorry, not sure what it is) was flashing. The car...

I was sat on the motorway today for about half an hour so thought I would see what MPG I could get so sat at 80mph and the best I got was 31.8mpg? I know the 8v gti's arent the most economical thing but should be better than that? As traffic slowed down I tried again but at 50mph and the best...

Hey all again, After fixing the cutting out problem, I now seem to have another problem although not as annoying. My car now seems to idle badly about 2 minutes after starting it. Its fine when I start it in the morning after being on the drive all night, but 2 minutes up the road, it...

Had this problem since i got the car, its lumpy on tickover. Like its missing. Its had new plugs and coils. Can u think of anything else? When it was remaped the guy had it on vag diagnostics. The missfire counted on cylider 3, we changed the plugs and coils around and it stayed on 3. Help...

Hi I have a 2001 1.9 TDi Toledo - only had it for a couple of months and there are a couple of problems i'm hoping someone can help to diagnose please! 1. A random warning light came on yesterday, which isn't listed in the owners manual. The manual is obviously slanted towards the petrol...

i have a mk3 ibiza cupra and i'm getting the following problem.. i have lumpy idle, but only when changing down gear and coming to a stop. also its lumpy when accelerating, but okay if driving slowly (still a tiny bit rough though) just had a coil go on me last week. only error code on...

Brakes have been lumpy since i bought the car (Altea 2.0 Sport).. Its been through a couple of services and they never mentioned a problem. So is this normal ?? Steering doesn't shake just feels lumpy when braking !! Any ideas ?:shrug:

I've noticed this a few times since I bought the car last month but some days are more noticeable than others - today being one of those days - so I thought I'd ask... When idling with a warmed up engine, my TDI 140 seems everso slightly lumpy. Most noticeable when sat at traffic lights with...

My car is sounding very lumpy on start up, it starts but sounds like it can hardly be arsed! Then its lumpy and sounds like its gonna stall for a while or untill I drive off and I can't hear it then. It was due a service last month but because of Christmas £££!!! I'm leaving it untill January...
