Hi,

At first i put it down to ASR. So i turned it off this week and its happening again!

This is getting a bit worrying. When i put my foot down to accelerate around 5-10 minutes after a cold start. The car starts juddering and refuses to let me increase power.

I have to stop the car and turn the ignition on and off again. On roundabouts this is VERY scary!!!!!!! :S

It stops doing this once the car is warmed up etc. The fronts need changing soon but i am unsure whats causing this.

Thanks

Have you had the fault codes read?

Have you had the fault codes read?

Heyup.

Had them read by AA guy a few weeks ago - "Injector Circuit open - cylinder 1"

I think its the wiring loom...

Got it booked in at VW Rescue tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

So are you actually asking what's wrong with it, because you seem to have a known fault and have it booked in?

No i have decided to have it booked in regardless. Just a bit scary thats all. That code came from the AA man. I cant see how the injector would make the ASR light come on and cause my car revs to fluctuate..

It happened on the motorway also, which meant i had to pull across three lanes of very fast traffic and get ont he hard shoulder to stop start the car!

Is there a certain RPM that this juddering kicks in at?

Getting EML? sounds similar to sticky VNT/Limp mode overboost

i had mis firing issue, faulty wiring loom in the head.

Mine does this, but not as badly.

Think its the loom, but be interested to see your outcome.

Time for some ' Italian Tuning ' ?

I had an injector jam and it gave me the exact same fault

hmmmmmm, been having the same thing recently about 3 times, after a cold start. Stopping and starting the car also appeared to fix it.

The whole car judders under acceleration and affects it more in the higher gears. If you drop the clutch mine dissappears.

Had a read of the Haynes manual and it made out an injecter blockage could cause it.

Car is due an inspection service, and pondered what I may have forgotten to check last time.

Next time it happens I plan to check the exhaust note on idle to see if I can spot a miss-fire. Anyway, gonna keep an eye on this thread.

You would never check an injector at a service. Unless it was just via engine section fault codes or logging fuel quanities on VCDS.
