Weird issue with the car while driving

[aidangill]

Hey All,

13 month old VRS, 2.0 diesel. Car has 44,000 kms. 

When driving, and this is not getting regular, its like as if the engine takes a breath, this could happen 3 or 4 times over a 1 hour journey. 

Its just a very strange issue, would have thought bad fuel but I have changed the providers a few times and no change. Happening now for last 4 or 5 months.

So its like as if they car takes a big breath, doesn't lose power, but then it just pushes on then again. 

 

Thanks

My old MK2 suffered from fuel starvation on hills and I think it was common to all of the VRS TDi.

It was more pronounced when going quick over a crest and then down hill. 

Do you have access to VCDs

I dont have access no, hard got? 

 

Has this been reported in the new models, find it very strange for a car only 13 months old to suffer from this.  It happened coming to work again, on flats.

First thing I would think of is dirty fuel. If it has partly clogged the filter it will do that. Could be a lot of other things though and as the car is so new I would drop it back to the dealer if it continues.

I get the same going over a crest of a hill as if it momentarily loses power on the down section. Had the same in my last 2.0TDi.

Its due a service in another couple thousand KMs so I will mention it.

 

Thanks
