hi, i have a 2003 tdi sport estate. this week i noticed a slight hesitation from 1st to 2nd gear for about 2 seconds when starting from cold
it only hesitates for that time then it's OK.
any suggestions ? could it be that it's ready for a service in 1000 miles?
Have you changed the injector loom yet?Quote:

To further add to the mixing pot I'd suspect the EGR valve.
The best advice is to get the car read for any fault codes as a starting point. If they come back clear then then I'd do the following in this order;
1, Unplug the EGR valve vavcuum hose, plug the free end and test drive.
2, II f that cures it then clean EGR valve (requires removal from car and cleaning out with carb cleaner, a filthy job but easily done as a DIY job). Or you could simply leave the vac hose off but a clean is benficial.
2, If the EGR clean fails to cure then look at replacing the water temp sensor.
3, Then look at the MAF.
