Hi

I have a UK 1.8T A3 (150Bhp), 2002, 105k miles. New T belt and clutch. Just recently the engine has started "jerking" when I power up over 3K revs, its almost like the power is being cut to the engine and the turbo not kicking in. On the motorway, in fifth gear, it happens continually as I get to 80MPH. There don`t appear to be any whiny noises or other problems and the engine management light is not on.

Any Ideas? Is it the first sign of the Turbo failing or something relatively minor. Is it safe to drive or wil it cause more damage by driving it? Maybe its fate telling me to upgrade to the S3 I saw the other day!!!

Any advice/troubleshooting tips greatly appreciated.

cheers
