Exactly the asme thing happened to my GF's Polo GTI.

The car would be very sluggish at lower revs, even a bit juddery but would pull like a good un when it up the revs.

Changed the leads & plugs but still the same  :sad:

Turned out that it was the coil pack that was breaking down  :angry: put a new one on and it's a little flyer again now  :wink:
