MK4 GTI (AUQ) Stutters/Jerks

Post by Dookie77 »

Hi all, I am experiencing a jerk/stutter at low revs when accelerating, usually in 2nd or 3rd gear. The issue is intermittent, and usually happens when cornering, or pull away. I have scanned for fault codes, but none came up.

The first time I experienced the issue was when my rev counter stopped working. This would cause the fuel gauge to drop when cornering, and also caused the stuttering. I managed to fix the rev counter by securing the reverse light switch that had come loose. However the stutter/jerk never went away!

I have read so many posts about people having this issue, and the possible causes are endless. So far I have only replaced the temp sensor to the updated green unit, as I still had the black one. I was hoping this would fix the issue, but no luck.
I don’t want to keep replacing parts, as this would be a foolish. I have a feeling that the clues to my problem might be linked to the rev counter issue that started the jerk?

Do you perhaps have any advice for me? Your help will be greatly appreciated. This issue is so frustrating!
