Title: Juddering in 4th and 5th gear
Post by: ImIMK3 on 06 August 2014, 15:38
Hello. I'm having some issues with my recently purchased mk3 gti. In 4th and 5th gear the car starts juddering. If I out the pedal to the floor then it's ok but in normal driving it judder a lot. Does anyone what could be causing this?

No miss firing at all. I haven't checked for leaks where would be the best place to start?

Also what speed does it do this?

I've checked the vacuum pipes and have found that the pipe that goes from the air filter to the crankcase is completely perished. Need to replace this, does anyone know where I can get one?
