Just after a bit of advice

Car has 56k on it and recently had clutch changed due to a noisy release bearing, but not fly wheel. The jerking issue was apparent before the clutch change and hasn't got any better or worst since.

The issue I am having seems worst when the car is warm and especially bad in traffic, the car a jerk and surge forwards and getting a smooth start can be very hit and miss. A few times it has also idled at 1200rpm in traffic.

After reading on here I thought it might be the pcv valve, another site suggested trying to blow down it to see if it was knackered. Anyways I couldn't.

It's booked in garage next Thursday but was just wondering I'd anyone could help or has experienced this before.

If its a 1.8 TSI then It is a characteristic of the engine set up, mine used to do it every so often, say one in ten.., but it does annoy you lol

I used to rev it a bit harder but got fed up ... a post by a fella called Brad 1.8T in this forum explains it very well

A Remap cured it completely and increased the performance from 160 to over 200hp

The car is incredible to drive...ultimate Q car

hope this helps

its the 2.0 tsi in the VRS, they might share the same clutch

it does seem very snatch and grab. I do have to rev it to 2000rpm or so when setting off and slip the clutch in otherwise it can be very jerky when setting off.

my octy 2 2006 tfsi does something similar to what you are describing! im yet to iron out the jerkyness all together but i have just replaced the pcv on the front of the engine as the old standard ones break up internally this seemed to smooth it out somewhat!

Thanks for the info Will try swap it out I need to go to skoda tomorrow to pick up our fabia anyways

thought I would post my findings.

 

This has been one of those faults I've been living with for around a year. I tried replacing the PCV valve but it made no difference. In the end I got a copy of VCDS and fault scanned.

 

It came up with this error

 

008213 - Intake Manifold Flap Position Sensor (Bank 1)
               P2015 - 000 - Implausible Signal - Intermittent
          

The garage I used diagnosed the issue and in the end i replaced two parts

 

07L 907 386

037 906 283 C

 

car now runs spot on. Just thought I would share as I know the idle and jerking (cant help laugh when I write this word) issue seems common

 

Doesn't jerk when setting off.

Idles perfect too.
