Hi All,

I'm wondering if anyone can offer me an opinion before I spend un-necessarily?

I've got a 55 plate Octavia Estate 1.9TDi, and when cold it is surging/stuttering as I accelerate, usually at around 2000 revs. This problem seems to disappear if I drive it for a bit, turn off, and re-start the ignition.

This orignially made me think it was an injector or a heater plug. I have a friend who has a diagnostics box, and when we plugged it in, it showed a heater plug error.

I managed to source some used plugs in good condition, removed the existing, checked their resistance and found one that seemed to be way too high, then put back in 4 that seemed to have no problem (all tested approx 0.5 Ohms).

Unfortunately this has not cured the problem, so before I go out and buy a complete new set of heater plugs, has anyone come across this problem before? Could it be something else?

Thanks for your time!

Flip.

You might be better posting this in the Octy2 forum.

This one is for computers and phones mostly.

Whoops newbie error - thanks for that. Will re-post.
