Annoying accelerating problem
« on: 09 March 2009, 21:02 »
hi all

when i put my foot down the engine revs high but not in smooth way like normal car should. it jumps right up to high revs but the car doesnt accelerate with it then when u let the accelerator off then the car jurks forward. its especially embarrasing when overtaking because it sounds real bad. its hard to explain.

ive tried changing the maf but that hasnt worked.

look in the info section for the G60 thread (assuming yours is a 1.8T)

most people have had the problem and you're looking around £400 or so all in
