    Volkswagen Polo 2001: Jerking when accelerating from a stop?

    Volkswagen Volkswagen Advice Volkswagen Polo Volkswagen Polo Advice Volkswagen Polo 2001

    My 2001 VW Polo hesitates and jerks when accelerating from stop, but runs normally once the road speed is reached. The fuel injectors have been cleaned and the fuel pump and filter are new. What could the problem be?

    It’s breaking down under load, i.e., acceleration, so check the ignition system, that’s coils, leads and plugs, and make sure the fuel pressure is correct.
