Consumer Description

I WAS AT A LIGHT IN FIRST GEAR AT A COMPLETE STOP. THE ENGINE WAS IDLING ROUGH. (NOT THE FIRST TIME, BUT VW COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG). THE RPM ON IDLING IS NORMALLY 800. IT WAS UP TO 1,000. IT SPUTTERED TWICE AND HICUPPED FROM 1000 TO 700 TO 1000 TO 700 IN THE PERIOD OF 3 SECONDS. MY CLUTCH WAS IN AS WAS THE BRAKE AND I WAS IN FIRST GEAR SINCE I WAS AT A LIGHT BUT AT A STANDSTILL. THE CAR SUBSEQUENTLY STALLED WITHOUT ME HAVING MOVED THE CAR. THE CAR RESTARTED AND I STILL DETECTED THE ROUGH IDLE. *TR
