98 1.8 Hesitation under acceleration - jlx
Hi. I have hesitation when i accellerate, only if i put my foot down hard. It also hesitates around the 3000 rpm mark. I have modified my driving to use the accelorator gently and it all seems ok, but if i need to overtake, wether i change down or not, the hesitation is most apparent.
There are no noises, oil leaks, it is serviced regularily, no warning lights, no excess fuel usage, no black smoke.
It has just sailed through the MOT and i asked the garage to put it on the diagnostic machine and no fault was found. Someone said it could be the air flow meter?

Thanks

I had similar issues on my 2000 1.8t Passat and it was the MAF meter. The symptoms got progressively worse and eventually it wouldn't rev past about 5500rpm. I had no fault codes either.
