found this interesting link if your having problems with hesitation when accelerating. Possible cause could be MAF (or air mass sensor as VW call them) http://www.seatenthusiasts.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=42839 . I know its a Seat site but uses the same thing me thinks. Going to try tomorrow so will let you know :smiley:
