Mk7 GTI lumpy idle
« on: 29 April 2014, 19:42 »
Just today noticed I've got a bit of a lumpy idle happening just after switching on ignition. Noticed this on the last two times I've taken her out today. Quite noticeable, had it standing on the drive for a few minutes to check it out. Even my nine year old daughter could feel it. After driving a short distance & stopping again, the idle returns to being smooth again. No difference in engine noise, and no warnings lit on dashboard. Feels fine driving too.
Any ideas?

I am sure somebody will correct me if I have remembered wrong but I seem to remember someone having similar and getting a software update to fix.

Just had a quick look but can't find the thread I am afraid.
