RallyeBaz Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Mine starts jerking when I am crawling in traffic under 20 mph. Dip the clutch and the car rolls fine. Then put it back in gear and starts jerking again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mukilupo Posted June 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 lupo gti jerking mainly from cold more noticable when changing down,off the accelarator pedal.only last few minutes.mileage 20,000/02/plate.changed plugs[ngk],air filter oil /service not due nov/07.Car four and half years old the dealership suggested a cam belt change for £400.Thecar has only coverd 20,000 miles.Is this the way vw dealerships are looking for more business,bearing in mind their labour charges are £90 an hour in London is this a rip off? thanks.any comments appreciated.I have just vag-com diagnostic today,everything showed ok.It looks like I'll have to skip around like a kangaroo every morning,maybe i should change my name to Skippy.It seems like to me cars from the far east dont have these problems, build quality or reliability?

M1 Lupo Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 My car does this when cold. The solutions I found were, if it jerks on moving off either give it more throttle or pull away in 2nd gear gently. For stopping, dip the clutch and use the brakes (below 10mph only) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aherne746 Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 I get this even when it's not cold, it any gear just lifting off the accelerator, hence why I'm reading the post, just checking nothing is wrong with the motor. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
