1.4 TSI (160) Acceleration Hesitation?
Posted: Sun Jul 24, 2016 2:20 pm
Hello guys,
Had the car just under a year now. It's a 60 plate MY11 1.4 160 Twincharger.
Recently, when under acceleration, the car accelerates as normal, and ever now and again, their is what I could only describe as a loss of power. It feels as though the car just stops accelerating and starts again. Now this only lasts for about a 1/4 of a second or so. So it's a very short amount of time but it's still noticeable.
I'm quite a new driver. Only had my license for a year so I'm quite a newbie when it comes to diagnosing and recognising problems and such, I've heard about all the horror stories concerned with this particular engine, and just though well, if it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen. Don't worry and enjoy the car. But now I feel that this could some how be connected to this?
The car has just rolled past 35k miles, and is due in for an MOT and Major service next month.
Any ideas guys?
