Very bad shake on accelleration

[hauln-ss]

The other day, I was going down a back road, and as I accelerated out of a curve, the whole car started to shake very badly. I don't mean in the steering wheel, I mean the whole car. I stopped and checked to see if I had loose lug nuts or something - and it didn't seem like it, so I limped the car home.

I did some research - and I checked the dogbone bolt, and the CV boots - everything looked fine to me. I'm at a loss - any ideas?

Forgot to mention - this is a 2009 Sportwagen TDI

I just recently had issues with my engine lugging when I fully opened the throttle. Turned out I needed to replace the fuel filter. How long has it been since you changed yours?

I changed it last time I did an oil change. It doesn't feel like it is down on power.

When I was re-testing it, I put on the spare on the front passenger side because a shop told me maybe the wheel was out of balance. It didn't make any difference. The shake is actually there during acelleration, or just coasting.

inner CV failing, normally.

same symptoms here! it was tandem pump. Now no more stumbles.
it's a fuel related problem!

Don't discount dual mass flywheel. The deceleration or coasting and acceleration lean me in that direction.
