00 beetle 274000 miles. Bought non running told bad inj pump sitting for 1 yr. Got it home bled lines fires right up decent power. So start to drive 30 miles one way to work and find it to be sputtering at cruise speeds under light throttle. If I beat it 3k and above seems to be ok gradually gets worse but no codes misses and coughs and gags so I change ip and fuel filter installed a 130000 mile 11mm pump and have timing adjusted by a friend who works at vw starts awesome good power but still issues at cruise speeds. Now random miss at idle comes and goes at the drop of a hat. Run compression 450 all a crossed 4 so got injectors re nozzled and checked by dis in madison wi. Still same issues installed 2 micron cat filter and gutted sending unit now no more sputtering at hwy speeds but miss fire at idle am running out of money very fast. Also sounds like exhaust leak at idle but no leak? Car acts as if it's loading up sometimes or like a gasser when u get a bad plug wire. Check mass and that's fine. And still no cell
