Occasional Loss of Power

[Peter in Hexham]

Has anyone else experienced this on a 160 TSI:-

I can pull away from a junction and sometimes the acceleration is very poor, just dies between gear changes.

My VW Dealer has checked it (over 3 days!!) and it did do it once when they test drove it, but the computer says there's nothing wrong and VW are not aware of a problem, so my dealer has just said ''see if the problem developes''

I've only done 1500 miles and it does drive superbly most of the time.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Since July my car has been in 5 times for a total of over 6 weeks+ for a misfire and loss of power! I'm so sick of it that i have traded it in but my new car doesnt arrive for 5 weeks yet. You aren't the only one certainly........misfires seem a bit too common on this engine. I have had 2 software updates, head gasket, coil pack and new injectors but still isn't fixed. I'm about due to blew the polo courtesy car up! It's horrible...........3 cylinders. I'm thinking i must be due some compensation. Anyway........rant over :-)
