Hi, can anyone help; i'm quite worried about my van and don't know if this is potentially a serious problem/what could be causing it etc...
I bought a 2004 SWB 1.9TD T28 T5 in baby blue second hand with 58000 on the clock and a full service history from a van dealership recently. It runs really nicely and is in very good condition (apart from a couple of minor dings/scrapes here and there).
Problem is, i've started noticing what can only be described as a 'lumpy' idle... almost as if the engine just misses a beat when idling, then continues smoothly, till it misses the next one. I started noticing it when sitting idling (at traffic lights or junctions etc) and could hear a slightly uneven idle noise, and felt an uncommon vibration through the seat.
The van has a full service history (all VW) and comes with a 3 month engine and gearbox warranty from the dealer where i bought it, so i'm keen to get this seen to as quickly as possible. However, it is not terribly obvious - you have to listen out for it, and i'd love to know if anyone has any suggestions ?
thanks and fingers crossed!
