I have a 2012 Golf TDI that vibrates or shutters under acceleration. I changed the fuel filter today in hopes that would fix it, and it did not. I could really use some advice.

Hmm is she an CPO? Or formerly buy back car? If so, they should be covered under warranty.
It could be several things... from tire to rim to transmission or engine.... its hard to pinpoint from here.

Could even be a CV joint.

I am no expert, but would it really be a CV joint if the vibration is only when acceleration is applied?

I had a CV go years ago. It was slightly noticeable while cruising, but terrible upon acceleration. I guess it depends on how broken it is?

Does anyone know where I can find good video to show me how to do this?

Some had issues with the MKVI cv axles. If warranty doesn't cover it, then look to Raxles or The Driveshaft Shop for replacements.

I had something similar to that on my '13 JSW and the tech was blown away when he discovered both front coil springs were broken into two pieces.

Do you have aftermarket wheels? If so you might need hub centric rings.

I used to have a car that would get ice buildup in the rims, and throw the balance off. It would shudder and shake at certain speeds. If it seems like it shaking from a corner of the car, one of the wheels could be out of balance.
