Another Weird Glitch with my Poorly Polo

I have found that my car occassionaly stutters after driving for about 5 - 10 mins. It doesn't do it all the time and only ever does it once.

It just seems like sometihng is sticking which makes the card jurk just the once then everything goes back to normal.

I didn't know if it might be something like the automatic choke sticking???

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!

does the car sometimes stall when you are driving??? could be a faulty/dirty speed sensor

hold on you are same guy with the other thread, its the speed sensor again mate, mine did this...basically doesnt send the correct amount of fuel to the engine etc..

Cheers mate!

I didn't konw if these issues related or not. It seems weird how it only ever happens once at the start of driving!?!

yup, when i first got my car i left the garage in kent, drove up the road & it stumbled and then stalled at some lights, i then drove for 150 miles no problem, it used to do it on small journeys..strange

this is the similar sort of thing with my car. but does it when i go up hill or round bends on the straight it is ok i had thought it was a misfire but replaced the plugs and leads and cleaned the throttle body out. could this be the speed sensor i wonder. and if so which wheel is it on and how much for a new one and would it put a fault code on the vag com?
