Title: Lumpy running
Post by: Justins145bhpMK1 on 03 July 2003, 14:55

Hi all, My MK1 is running very lumpy on idle and hunting a bit, also you can feel the lumpyness during slower town driving, its fine when you put your foot down. Only just got the car and am told its recently had a service. Any pointer as to what it might be?? Are they lumpy motors anyway????
