Hi all Ive just joined the site and was hoping some of you may be able to give me some advice. Ive just bought a golf gti 1.8 turbo on a 51 plate and it has an intermittant judder when driving, it happens in any gear and at any speed but particulary when accelerating, it feels like a sudden loss of electric power to the whole car and it kind of jerks you a little in your seat until it picks up again.
I bought the car with a full comprehensive history and it has had lots of parts replaced over the years including new cam belt water pump and tensioner in the last 1000 miles so it appears to have been looked after, it is now showing 127,000 miles on the clock but feels very tight to drive and pulls very quick until the intermittant problem occurs.
Has any one experienced this problem before and know of any problem areas to start looking at that would cause this problem? Any help would be most appreciated, Ill get some pics of the car soon and post them one here as I think from a quick look at the forums that you can show your car on here. Anyway pleased to be here and hope you guys can help, cheers.
