What's making my Volkswagen Polo hesitate when pulling away?
My Volkswagen Polo 1.4SE automatic hesitates when pulling away from stationary. It feels like the electronics are confused. This also happened on my Audi TT with the DSG gearbox. My garage is unable to find fault. Do you have a solution?

It may be the autobox, or may be something simple like duff coils or duff leads.
