Title: Coughing car??
Post by: av_golf on 28 July 2009, 22:52

basically when im doing about 60 or 70 on the motorway in 5th gear the car sometimes kind of judders, if i depress the gas a bit more it gets worse so i have to slow down completely or put it in 4th. does anyone know what this might be? ive had the throttle body cleaned, new spark plugs, rotor arm, new rocker cover & gasket yet the problem still persists. can anyone shed some light? thanks

check the wires that run from your TB sensor which run behind the engine they get cooked with the heat if they are replace them this can cause probs as well, had this on mine not long ago as well.
