\'04 tdi pd rough idle/hesitaton
I have an 04 jetta tdi that is experiencing a rough idle similar to other posts i have read. A four pulse, fore and aft vibration (visible engine movement) easily felt through the seat of the car. It only seems to happen when the car is up to operating temperature. The other issue, which i have not read about is a higher rev hesitation that is harder to reproduce. It happens at about 2500 rpm in 5th most consistently,but happens in 3rd and 4th as well. As i accelerate to about 115km/h and begin to lift of the throttle slowly all is normal, when the throttle is just about closed there is a stutter that is easily felt through the seat and driveline. I wouldn't call it a hesitation exactly because at this point i'm not trying to accelerate, just settle in to a power settting. It only happens when gently closing the throttle, if i just pull my foot off the pedal all is well. Otherwise the car runs fine. I also have an 03 golf tdi for comparison, the 04 has noticeably more power even though it is stil at less than 1000kms. The 03 didn't reach max power and fuel efficiency until at least 5000kms.
I contacted my dealer today and they suggested waiting until at least 1500 kms before bringing it in. Anybody out there with similar issues or advice.
