IS this normal? (Engine misfire Q?)

[Hartside]

No engine problems on mine runs like a dream

Only problem with yours mate is that it sounds like a skeleton having a w@nk in a biscuit tin! 

I'm probably making more of the very slight hesitation than it actually is. I doubt my wife would even notice it if she drove it, it's just that I pick these sort of things up too easily. After a couple of miles it's gone.

Any missfire will be logged on the ecu. Just pull up a report.

Not a misfire, just very very slight hesitation. I'm wondering if it's not enough throttle and I'm just at the point of the throttle open/close and as the engine is cold it's more pronounced. I'm assuming the throttle is drive by wire and the system works from a control signal.

could be a sparkplug problem!! 

[Hartside]

Aye, was just reading your post and wondering the same thing! Is it a problem batch of spark plugs, or are they saying it a problem with engine or ignition circuit?

they just said it wasnt fueling properly.. on further inspection the plugs had a wierd coating/residue on them. usually found if dodgey fuel has been used. one of the plugs was even bent and incorrect distance from the spark bit (excuse my technical jarggon)

I have this on my Golf R. First thing in the morning, just a slight hesitation between gears. Feels like the engine dies a bit, I learch forwards a bit in the car and then the power comes back. Only happens when cold usually in the same place just up the road on the way to work. I'm not that worried about it. It's only happened 2 or 3 times, usually when I lift off at a certain rev to change gear.

Hartside, that's a great saying above. I've never heard of that one. People at work must think I'm mad, I've been sitting here at my desk laughing out loud
