I have a 2002 Jetta 1.8L turbo, when I press on the gas my car revs high stumbles and surges. I did a tune up but same problem, could it be a air intake problem also my engine light has been on for a year, dealer has a code for coolent problem but can't fix?   Thank you Replies to this message: bpeebles (May 02, 2009 4:49 pm)

Replying to: paulojetta2002 (May 02, 2009 4:28 pm) Your VW dealer cant fix a problem with a VW.... are you serious??? I bet I can guess why your CEL (CheckEngineLamp) is on from here! (sounds like you need to find a more competent dealership)   You need to get the CEL fixed... then, if problems still exist, move forward from there.   BTW: You say you "did a tuneup"... I am curious... just exactly what did you do? (There has not been any such thing as a "tuneup" since electronic-ignition was invented.)
#235 of 274 engine lurching by gophergirl May 12, 2009 (7:54 am)
Still looking for help in figuring out why my '08 2.0T jetta is lurching forward with a stutter when I take my foot off the brake and before I start to accerate. Anyone out there help me?   Only happens when engine is warm - cold starts the 'off the line' are smooth and with out any lurches (my definition is like a manual transmission with a new driver)- but as soon as the engine does engage it is smooth from there on up to speed.   Only started to happen after my 15K check/oil change - please help! thx

I 'm guessing you have the 2.0T and DSG? Dont have an answer for ya, wish I did, mine acts funny sometimes also.    GLI or Wolfsburg? Replies to this message: ryeder (May 13, 2009 7:25 am) gophergirl (May 13, 2009 7:27 am)

Replying to: fho2008 (May 13, 2009 7:13 am) Wolfsburg. I changed out the MAS and it eliminated the problem. In fact, it ran so well I almost received a speeding ticket. Sold the vehicle last fall but due to the high cost of parts, I will not be buying another one.

Replying to: fho2008 (May 13, 2009 7:13 am) yes it is a wolfsburg - good to hear I am not alone, still so strange to have this happen - not sure what DSG is.... thanks for responding.

I have replaced distributor, coil, computer, crankshaft sensor. I have fuel but no spark. When I jumper out the tach wire with the trigger wire for the coil it starts fine but the fuel will not increase. It just would not start one day and I need help finding out what.
#240 of 274 DSG (gophergirl) by fho2008 May 14, 2009 (8:22 am)
Wolf also. AFAIK its a manual trans, but yes, with computer technology it drives like an automatic.    Direct Shift Gearbox I think is what DSG means. They brag that its the fastest shifting trans.    I noticed it acting wierd since I started taking the back road home, not all the time, but sometimes it does.    Think its used to me driving on the highway with the cruise set. Maybe it will get better the more it gets used to the back road.    I want nothing to do with the road construction on the highway coming home.......the usual morons and semis forced into one lane..........I know that isnt a pretty sight!!    Have you tried sport mode and launch control?

Replying to: fho2008 (May 14, 2009 8:22 am) Thanks for the info - I was so frustrated, I emailed my dealer - who immediately replied with a couple of questions and then had me stop by without an appointment - and pulled the service manager out to go for a ride with me....I was apprehensive at first, but knew there was something funky with this car. Sure enough the problem presented itself immediately and the guy seemed to know exactly what was going on. I am scheduled in for a couple of days and seems like he did say something about DSG - but heard something about paddles....   All props to Burnsville Volkswagon in Burnsville MN. The counter staff, the service staff were exceptional - Hope this will rectify the problem once and for all.   Thanks to cyperland for the support! Will keep you all posted
