Scirocco Central

Hi,

I have a 2.0 TSI GT Scirocco 64k miles which is currently stuttering/hesitating when accelerating. The problem only happens occasionally and I notice a whooshing sound as the car stutters/hesitates which may indicate a boost leak somewhere? The fault occurs only when accelerating and can happen in any gear. It is more noticeable when accelerating hard.

I have searched all over the web for answers and there appears to be many possible causes. I have tried removing the MAF sensor plug to see if the problem resolved but to no avail. Every topic I see however the user describes the symptoms slightly differently to mine but very similar.

I have not noticed an engine light come on although i've not really been looking at the dash when the stuttering happens. The stutter usually lasts about 1-2 seconds and then the boost comes in strong and away you go.

If anyone has any advice or has had this matter resolved i'd greatly appreciate the help I love the scirocco and really want to see this fixed so I can enjoy it to its full potential.

Any more info required, let me know.

Cheers.

maybe spark plugs or coil pack problem

I'm going to try changing out the spark plugs over the next couple days. I've swapped round the coils and that didnt do much.

The stutter happens in any gear so I don't think it's related to the plugs/coils. Think it's boost related. Want to change the plugs anyway so won't hurt.

I see this is a few years old but mine is currently doing the same thing. Did you ever get to the bottom of it?
