Lurching

[ninja.turtle007]

2.1 mv with dj ignition.

On very little or neutral throttle I'm getting really bad lurching. Usually at lowish revs. Making it awful to drive, especially in traffic.

Does hunt a little on tickover and the revs go a little wild sometimes if the steering wheel is rotated. (power steering)

With the little knowledge I have I have checked for air leaks. Also thought it may be a problem with the idle control. I can feel it vibrating and I tested it's resistance 4.8 ohms. So I think this is okay.

What else should I be looking at?

Thanks in advance.

Seems to be getting worse and definitely worse sub 2k revs.

Clutch biting point seems quite low, I don't know if this could be anything to do with it?

setting of idle control switch ? If it's switching to idle too early then that would cause the symptoms described

Is there a way of checking this or do I replace?

Adjusted switch and no different. Get a strange miss fire or knock. I took video to see if there are any ideas. See after 20 secs.

Will be getting this booked in with a local guy next week. Shame as we want to use the van for CamperJam.

Fixed it by having a TDI fitted.

Was told by a local old skool VW specialist to put it on a rolling road.
