Hi folks! It's been a while since I've posted on here because I've had very few problems with my old B7, but that's changed!

I'm suddenly experiencing a problem where the car is pulling away fine, but if I lift off the accelerator there's a big jerk and another when I accelerate again - this is most obvious in 1st and 2nd gear, but I can feel it all through the range. It's also really drinking fuel, so I need this sorted ASAP. It sounds to me like a MAF issue, but I'm not much of a tinkerer. I've also read that it could be fuel injectors or the lift pump...

Have any of you experienced this, and how did you get it sorted?

eng code would certainly help
