| Description of the problem | 1) purchased the car and noticed the jumps twice on my way home. It has since continued to be an issue for the whole two weeks of my ownership. 2) accelerating from a full stop the car hesitates, hangs, and then jumps forward after a moment. This happens about half the time. I notice when i roll slowly ~5 mph it does not hang or jump nearly as much or as often. 3) nothing has been done as of yet. I plan to take my 2008 vw r32 to the dealership to see what may be the cause. |
