Description of the problem	This "hiccup" just started happening to me. I took the r32 on a road trip from miami up to northern florida (500 miles north of miami), and 30 miles into the trip this happened. We had just topped off the tank with 93 (girlfriend assured me she didn't fill it up with 87) so this couldnt have been the issue. I was driving at roughly 3,000 rpm's when the car would hiccup all on its own... ? I didn't even need to give it gas for this to happen. I have 14,000 miles on the car, and it got worse throughout the trip. The car even shut off on me 2 times while sitting at a traffic light. I'm scared that the car will shut off on me while on the highway which is a big threat to my life! Has anyone noticed this get worse when your tank is at full? I haven't had this happen to me again the 1 day i've been back in miami. I read some reply's on this topic and looks like vw has no official fix yet? What's the diagnosis? Bad fuel bump???
