I have a 2006 Jetta TDI with the BRM and a DSG transmission. It's been a good car, though it's several different colors due to an altercation with deer... (body work to be done)
Anyway, it has an intermittent stumble on acceleration, and has had that since I got it about Two years ago. It has a Malone stage two tune and EGR delete and had the camshaft replaced a little while before I got it.
What it does is when you go to accelerate, it'll have no power and start smoking and clattering, and then it'll just pop out of it and be good to go.
There is no codes set from it. I have vcds and Autel as well as a whole shop of tools available. I don't want to go changing a bunch of parts out and want to test things, but really am not sure where to start.
The fuel economy has also gone down pretty sadly... I used to get 43-45, now I'm doing good to get 37mpg.
I don't know if they are related, but suspect they could be.
Oh, one other thing is that randomly (intermittently in mechanics lingo[emoji2]) I will have extended crank time after letting the car sit for a few hours to a few days.
I need to get it fixed soon, since it's not a problem for me, but it's the car my wife normally drives, and it's scared her a few times with the stumbling...
Thanks in advance!
