[Vwdiesel] vibration

[Area31 Research Facility]

Check your fuel lines for bubbles. Also, could be your FI pump is on its way
south.  Your symptom sounds like something I've seen trying to start my 1.5
NA in my genset that makes it a hard starter.  When I got the engine the FI
pump was in terrible shape.  Fortunately it recovered and now works great
except for this little quirk. Below a certain RPM on starting (throttle at
idle stop) the pump doesn't seem to be able to get enough pressure and fuel
delivery to the injectors and the engine shudders and almost dies.  Rev it
up a bit and the problem clears quickly as fuel pressure climbs and things
start to work.

Are you noticing any starting difficulties also?
