So many times people post with questions about an issue, get answers, then never return to give affirmation of what fix was. Anyhow, I got a new to me 05 B% TDI. It always "shuddered" when lugging at low rpms in 5th. I did some searching, saw a few people said to replace fuel filter. I thought it sounded a bit far fetched but was willing to try. Bingo, it did it. That is all.

It seems new fuel filters, clean egrs, new silicone vacuum lines, freash air filters and clean turbos do wonders for them
