Rough idle & hesitant when accelerating?
Hello all! So my 06 TDI recently got a new camshaft and now runs better and doesn’t smoke excessively at startup anymore. However I am having a weird issue, on a completely cold startup, the car idles fine and then once it gets warm (probably 80+ degrees) through normal operating temperature, you can hear the car’s sound changing as it’s idling and sometimes you can see the needle actually going up and down slightly. See link below. The car is also a little jerky till about 1500RPM in first gear when accelerating but second-sixth gear it shifts very smooth and has good power. The car is a DSG and does have an EGR delete. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
