So one of my friends bought a GTIR yesterday. I came with him but wasn't able to drive the car because the owner ran out of gas. After which my friend who isnt the most mechanically inclined to me the car felt alright.f This friend bought it and we got some gas. So he let me drive it home i noticed a few things wrong. Obviously and one that i can help him fix is the alignment some small rust patches.
The bigger issue we found was chugging while driving. so when you have the gas pedal depressed about an inch or 2 and just cruising the car chugs and hops a little, now this happens at all RPMs. when you push the gas pedal farther and accelerate it smooths out. Anybody know what this might be?

dude sold it to my buddy saying to just reshimm it but i had a feeling he knew what was up. hopefully everybody is staying safe.just waitinf for the head shop to open back up to get it back. they sent it off to get super heated and new aluminum sprayed so they can fix it. going to take the car back to america to swap a vet engine from a xtrail and found a ausie shop that sells a kit to mount a evo transmission to it.
