I took the little beastie for the first decent drive on the weekend and uncovered a couple of issues..
Firstly after coming off throttle and getting back on in it again there is almost a jerking sensation (keep it clean boys and girls) Only does it after coming off throttle and felt like a throttle issue to me.. There was a definite slackness in the throttle cable so first of all I adjusted the cable and had a feel, the pedal feel was much better but the jerking sensation was still there, it feels almost like there is no power when initially depressing the go pedal then a jolt when the power comes on, it definately feels like a throttle issue to me, so next port of call was to pull the Throttle Body off and give it a clean. It was pretty grubby in there too, I was surprised at how blackened it realy was. I was going to clean the TPS as well but didnt have a torque bit the right size to get to it. Put the TB back on and the jerking has pretty much halved, its definitely still there but nowhere near as bad so I think the TPS may need to be cleaned or replaced to get the problem sorted.. Also found the PCV was rooted cracked and broken in about 73 places...lol... so thats gotta be replaced too....

Besides these little hiccups the car drives beautifully, such a smooth engine!

Hi Robbie congrats on the VR. I got that jerking thing going in my VR6 as well. Took it to the mechanics, but he said nothing wrong, and said it was just a little clutch shudder.

Kind of strange it only came about after my major service.

I dont get it all the time though.

Is this a sign of gearbox problems?
