dose it do it at full throttel,    if it starts playing up and if you floor it dose it sort itself out ?   if so i would have a look at the airflow meter.

all the VW's have gone bar 1.

no it does it when you take your foot off then put it down again and if you accelerate out of it its fine, i have since changed the afm, whhich (fingers crossed) has worked. Cheers for input alos put some Forte gas cleaner in the tank hope that helps.  :smiley:

I used to have this problem on my 16v , oil would make its way down the dizzy shaft & mess with the hall sender, i used to pull it off every other week give it a godd spraying with WD40 , till i got fed up & bought new/recon unit of ebay , never had the problem again.

My digifant would judder and then cut out at junctions. The idle revs would drop real low.

I just swapped my MAF sensor for a good one.

I had a very similiar problem which was caused by a faulty ignition control unit. I'm not sure that I've used the proper name for it. Anyway, its found in the top left hand corner of the engine bay. There's a pic at this address:
