[Vwdiesel] Bucking TDI/ was "A new member in the family!"

[Fernando Fiore]

    YES!  My dad's 97 Jetta TDI does that bucking/surging with a slight
touch of the throttle, almost feels like you can't drive a stick shift, like
you let off of the clutch too fast.. but I played with it and it does the
same thing at idle.  When it gets warm, it goes away.  I don't have a clue
what it could be!
