Hi All, anybody else had the same issue?
My revs dont fluctuate they sit at 750 dead on but the car feels ever so slightly 'lumpy' its dead smooth for 10 to 15 seconds then lumpy for around 2. Car seems to drive/pull fine. Anybody else had the same issue

You'll have to wait for the MK3 crowd to wake up. By lumpy do you mean you can feel the car vibrating under you? Hard to explain but I'm on my 3rd mk2 and I've had it scanned twice because I thought the engine was badly misfiring every few seconds (it isn't). I get like a thudding noise that shakes the car. But as I've got it on all 3 now, figured it was a "feature".

Haha ok. Not so much vibrating id say it feels the revs drop for a couple of seconds but according to the needle there spot on. Like i say when at a stop weither the car is in P or N its smooth and idling great for about 10 to 15 secs then feel a drop for 2 then back fine and so on.

Normal, my MK3 Cupra 280 (TSI DSG) did this and my MK2 Leon Cupra R (TFSI and manual)
