I have a Mk4 Golf 1.6SE AZD Engine.
2001, 60000 miles.
In the transition phase (when I remove my foot from the accelerator or place my foot on it) the engine hesitates.
It surges when I put my foot down to take up drive (as though the engine suddenly kicks in) and is slightly lumpy when I lift my foot.
It is not smooth.
The problem only exhibits itself when going from drive to decelerate and vice-versa.
I must also add that the gearstick shifts a little when the car jumps.
You would expect the car to jolt slightly if you suddenly jump on the accelerator after decelerating but I am simply talking about taking up drive here (just applying enough accelerator to take up drive).
In fact it's quite difficult to drop the car into another gear without it jumping when drive is taken up. I have to try to slip the clutch both changing up and down and if the engine revs aren't perfect when I drop it in, the car jumps.
It's most noticeable when changing down - if I don't bring the revs up before dropping it in, the car jumps as though the engine is trying to resist increasing its revs but is then forced to as the clutch grips.
The EGR valve has been replaced as has the Throttle Body.
Nothing shows up on VW's diagnostics and they have been trying to convince me nothing is wrong (they don't want to fix it under warranty). They are telling me that it's perfectly normal to have these symptoms with the AZD engine!
This has been going on for several months now.
Any ideas please anybody?
Many thanks,
Graham
