No it doesn't do it while revving in neutral and it doesn't speed up while going through gears all I can give you is that it only happens when I hit about 1000rpm and it stops when u get to a steady speed

And when driving like a granny? Keep it real smooth and light on the throttle.

Do you get any run after the engine is switched on? Does it smell of fuel?

Sounds like it could be "pinking" as mentioned above. Possible cause timing out, though I'm not sure about advancing\retarding with no distributor.

Have you had the cam belt changed recently?

...and this has just started? How long have you had it, has it ever had a cambelt change?

Should be done @ 40k or 4 years. If it hasn't been done it could be the belt stretched maybe, giving a degree off tdc. or even the tensioner failing.

Without hearing it it's hard to really say, but you m aybe need to find someone local to listen or take it to a VW specialist.

Where are you located, someone on here may meet up to give you an opinion.

Well done Tom!

Members should really put there location in their profile so it shows in threads; they would be amazed at how willing people are to help out when they know they are local.
