Could be a dodgy lead? Mines doing that at the moment when I pull away etc and on idle when its hot - had new leads at the start of december but ones knackered already, the sparks jumping to the head!

Sweet i'll try that

by the way like the wheels what are they

start by checking leads and coilpack....wait till its dark then start the engine and lightly spray water all over the leads and pack and watch for sparks.

also, check they're plugged on properly.

if not, then you need to get the diagnostics read with vag-com or 1551 tool...it could be a number of things so best to do this than guess.

same symtoms here had a spark but it was weak, turend out to be a dodgy coil pack, hairline crack running round the end..

also have a look at ur spark plugs...give them a clean this helped with my misfire

mines doing exactly the same miss/hessitation. it misses regardless of what speed the engine is running tho? checked coil pack no arcing, changed plugs, changed the leads twice! still no better, although when i run it on 95ron fuel it runs terrible so i always put optimax in which doesnt cure it but makes it run smoother! its going on a vag com next week so hopefuly that'll shed some light on the problem.

hall sender clean might clear the misfire.also take the black covers off your VOLTAGE STABILISER RELAY-109 and FUEL PUMP RELAY 167.examine it around the soldered joints-this promotes a poor signal.did all the above and other stuff mentioned.problem solved.
