dont know if any1 is still reading this thread, ive got a 1993 audi 80 1.9 tdi, its about 165k now was 100k when i got it, its juddered since soon after i got it, the person i bought it off swears it never did it b4 but it had stood still for 6 years or so....

anyway just wondered if it helps any of you, but my car is an automatic and still judders...

recently (in the last month) its started dying at certain speeds... feels like the turbo kicks in and out... which is even more annoying than the jerking.... although the jerking seems to have stopped as much, it now feels like im losing half the power every time i hit a slight hill....

is it too late to cut the wire?? i was hoping whatever it was that needed replacing would also stop the jerking, but after reading all these pages im now more confused than before!

my fuel gauge does weird things, it lies to you about how much is in it if its under halfway, can drop to nothing or hover in between the reading or empty... ive read loads of posts that say fuel pump which is plausible but one post did say about dry joints in the dash.... does this tie in with the blue/white wire theory?

im fairly sure i get air bubbles in the fuel line as well, god knows where from, ive replaced the fuel line (cos it failed the last mot on it)

i seem to find new filters (air/oil/fuel) seem to stop the juddering for about a week then it kicks in again....

i modded the woven waste pipe as well soon after i got it, replacing with a solid plastic tube.... that seemed to help for a bit but i dunno whether to just ebay it and try and find another car or whether to venture further....

i was hoping after 20 pages there'd be a reason that all this happens... some people say about a turbo pipe... sounds like mine is starting to go, or could it be the computer thing idling me out because of the fuel gauge etc....

im more confused now than ever lol and i need a reliable car!
