No need to get defensive; I don't know you therefore I don't know your driving habits. Thus, when you make a blanket statement that these cars have the worst tuned engine management or something to that effect, and I don't experience that in my own car, then I have to ask. To further digress and attack me by saying I'm not perceptive enough is simply childish. My perception is just fine thanks, just like my car.No actually I haven't considered it is my driving habit when it jerks sometimes under the same load, throttle position, rpm and weather conditions and not others. Have you considered you aren't preceptive enough to notice that the car is poorly calibrated?
I've been driving manual transmission cars since I was 11 or 12 years old, I've raced cars and motorcycles. I've done my own engine management calibrations as well (B5S4 and Corvette). I've also personally owned 35 cars, 33 of which were manual transmission.
I wouldn't consider 1st gear on flat ground at 2500 rpm to be a load issue, would you? How about at 60mph on flat ground in 6th gear?
These cars just occasionally get the hiccups. Do I need to record VCDS output showing gear position, rpm, load, throttle and a G meter and post it up on youtube before you to believe it, are all these posts not enough?
I'm not going to beat my chest and tout out my accomplishments on the internet, but I will say that we do have fairly similar driving experiences and backgrounds. I'm sorry if my earlier question was misconstrued by you in some fashion - it was not my intent to belittle or demean. Again, for what it's worth, my vehicle doesn't exhibit any bucking or jerking unless I intentionally lug the engine.
And to answer your question about load issues; if what you're telling me is factual, then no, I wouldn't believe there to be a load issue in first gear at 2500 RPM. If your car is bucking at that speed, then something else is going on. Are you coasting when the bucking happens, or are you on throttle? I ask because I remember reading of someone complaining of something similar, and it ended up being the EGR valve closing when coasting.
