Hello icon_smile.gif

I'm having a problem with my Volkswagen Golf Mk3, manufactured in 1994, which now has an impressive 290,000 km on the odometer. A new engine was installed when it had 100,000 km.
It's always been like this: it jerks when you drive at low RPMs. But recently, it takes longer for the jerking to stop. So now it sometimes happens even at an engine speed of 2000 RPM, whereas before it used to happen around 1600 RPM.

I hope you understand what I mean and can help me figure out what the problem is.

I would be very happy about that.

You're welcome!

Hi.
So, you can find a lot of things on the internet, but not necessarily things like, for example, which engine is installed in your Golf icon_biggrin.gif.
Therefore, please provide more details about the golf club, otherwise it will just be guesswork, which would be useless.

It's a 1.9 TDI engine.
Do you need any other information that might be helpful?


thank you icon_smile.gif

Don't be offended, but the 1.9 TDI still comes in countless versions, each identified with so-called engine code letters. This letter is located on the sticker at the very front of the service booklet, on the timing belt cover in the engine compartment, or in the trunk near the spare tire, also on a sticker. You take this (the engine code letter) and try searching here in the forum using "engine code letters and misfiring." Then there's a lot to read icon_cool.gif.
Best regards,

Crankshaft pulley is vibrating!!!
Check injection start!
Fuel injection pumps are often a source of problems with these vehicles.

Hello,


@ Saskia.E, please review the article.

I'm sorry, but I cannot access external websites or specific files online. Therefore, I am unable to translate the text from the provided URL.

Without the engine code letters, it's like searching for something in the fog.


Best regards,

Also in 94 gab es nur einen TDI Motor im G3 ... That was the first set.

Search function: "1Z jerking" or "1Z stuttering".

The results already provide everything important for reading over the next two days icon_wink.gif.
