hi everyone,
i have a 97 passat tdi and the car started to have this weird shake after the car heats up to 150 degrees and continues to shake as i hit the accelerator when the engine is warm. the temp is normal at 190degrees.
if i have to stop at a light or for anything else after the engine heats up, it is very hard to speed up, especially in the first gear.
a shop guessed that it could be the injection pump seals expanding as they heat up.
my first guess was the MAF but could not be sure.
what would you think??
