Hey all,
Running a 2002 jetta tdi 286,000 miles.
Recently upon acceleration it seems to be stumbling. there is no noise to be heard, just an obvious rhythmic, kind of pulsating feel to it.
Dropped it off at a shop. he claimed the MAF was bad. but even when disconnecting the MAF the stumble continues. Changed air, and fuel filters. cleaned the MAF. there was a considerable amount of sand in the air box. CV boots are solid. one thing to note. several months ago, the car had violent acceleration on the highway. decided to do a transmission flush. turns out there was no fluid. as i bought the car at 215k i had no idea what kind of service she had. so who knows how long the car was without transmission fluid. since the addition of fluid, the clutch whistles when pressed. grinds going into reverse. ive owned several cars with worn throwout bearings, and non stumbled on acceleration.
the only recent work on the car was cross drilled and slotted rotors. which she doesnt seem to like.
