Title: Advice and help required please
Post by: ali on November 03, 2016, 04:05:29 pm
hi I have a 07 GT TDI 170,   when starting up it is ticking over at about 750 revs and juddering all the time feels like its cutting out.  Also when accelerating in 3rd upto 6th at around 1500 revs its juddering all the time till gets to a reasonable speed.  If accelerating through the gears and not changing till about 2500 revs then its fine and when at speed she goes great its just the acceleration to start with and the tick over

Any ideas or solutions please

sounds like the fuel filter could do with a change

I have had the engine replaced,  dpf removed,  new cam belt water pump etc,  new filters and services and mot done
I have taken it back to the garage today as someone suggested it could be the timing that is slightly out,  i was thinking maybe fuel mixture or injector timing  ??
