#32 of 36 sluggish at low speeds? by fleased Feb 13, 2008 (9:53 am)
I have a 2003 Passat and I've noticed that it seems a little sluggish lately. At lower speeds when I try to accelerate it seems a bit unresponsive and has to rev quite high before it shifts gears. I don't notice it at higher speeds. It's not a dramatic problem, but when I get in the wife's jetta it's like night and day; it's way more responsive. A different car I know... It is due for an oil change, and I'm taking it in on Friday, but I was wondering if that or a dirty oil filter could make that much of a difference, or does it sound like it might be more of a transmission issue? It has 45k miles--could a trans flush be on the horizon, or am I barking up the wrong tree? Thanks in advance, Steve r.

Replying to: bvigersky (Sep 11, 2007 2:48 pm) I just read your message. I have an automatic 2004 Passat and it has always had an occassional accelaration hesitation at take off since I first bought it (new). What fix do I need to ask about?

Replying to: rlo1016 (Sep 28, 2008 8:50 am) After complaining several times, the service manager finally told me that there was a recall and a new chip was put in which has eliminated the problem.
#35 of 36 acceleration stutter after oil change by matthewt24 Oct 16, 2008 (4:37 am)
I recently had the oil changed on my 04 GLS wagon (Valvoline Syntec). Since then, upon accelerating from a stopped position, there is a very noticeable stutter. Can anyone think of any possible causes? Sloppy oil change; poor fitting of the oil filter; topping off of any fluids incorrectly? I'd like to bring the issue up with the mechanic; however, I'd like to be somewhat educated and offer a few suggestions. Thanks in advance for any insight.
