Hi all,

I have a problem with my R reg GTI. I have looked through alot of the other posts and I don't think it has been covered so far (opps if it has)

Anyway, before any of this started, I could take the engine right up to just above 6000 RPM, then just as it would red line it would loose power. Fair enough, its been limited I thought, saves me blowing the engine!

The GTI needed a clutch change, so I dropped it into a local garrage to get that done, when I got the car back, the clutch was excellent etc, Cool.

Next day as I was driving it, I excellerated and at 5000 revs the engine started to splutter!!! When I change up gears, no probs untill I hit 5000 revs again and the same prob????

The car starts to jerk violently as soon as 5000 is reached. Its as if the engine is being starved of air or fuel or sth!

I cant see what the connection (if any) is with a clutch change, but it happened just after it.

Any Ideas?
Any helps appreciated.

Cheers Pernic
