We dont have any ruff roads in north wales,so not sure if I could test mine for you - we have quite a
lot of rough roads though - will give it a try in the morning.

I had a problem with mine,if i was bombing along in 3rd or 4th gear and was sat at 4000-5000rpm for a short time when i then went to accelerate it would shudder or jolt it was very intermittent and never stored any faults when the dealers looked at it,touch wood its not done it for 4/5months now and seems to have cured its self.

I'm noticing this as well in 2nd and 3rd gears when the engine is cold and I'm being really gentle on the throttle. Feels like a very slight hesitation, then it goes, then the hesitation and so on.

Fortunately, mine seems fine ... I think. :rolleyes:

Not had this problem.

Is it only when the engine is cold? Which petrol are you using?
Mk7 GTI. DBP, DCC, Winter pack. Mine since new, July 2013.
GTI no. 4. Golf no. 5.  VW no. 7.
