I’m having a strange issue with my 2011 Golf TDI - once in a while the engine will buck or stutter if I’m holding the RPM steady around 2000 (usually in 3rd or 4th gear). Easing off the throttle and then applying generous throttle usually snaps it out of this state but it will happen again soon after. This hasn’t happened in about 6 months and just happened again for about 10 minutes on my last drive before going away. I thought about fuel quality but I didn’t tank up today before this happened.
Any thoughts? As a disclaimer I do have a Malone stage 2 tune on the car, but for the most part it seems to have eliminated the hesitation points associated with the stock dieselgate tune.
Little update - I did a scan with VCDS and it seems like a misfire was detected in all 4 cylinders. Dirty/bad injectors maybe? Since it's all 4 though I'm thinking it might be something else.
