Could be fuel or electrical related
Only way to be sure is to get a VCDS scan and see if anything shows up

Could be quite a lot of things, when was/were the spark plugs / cam follower / PCV last changed?
Scan (Save) / Clear / Drive it / Scan again, to be closer to a real solution. :happy2:

It had new cam follower/ pcv/ dv and health check nor long befor i brought her as it was dont just befor being mapped. Just seemed to splutter when turbo kicked in ar low speeds drives nice. When i used it weekend just gone this problem didnt exist. Its only today it done it as i was dropping the car off.

Best way to desbribe is feels like traction control kicking in. But was turned off so its not that

Is it mapped?

TBH mate, you can start chucking cash at it based on other peoples opinion, but usually when you get it scanned it will give you a good idea where to start spending your hard earned.

There's a list on here of people who have VCDS, good luck mate. :happy2:

It is mapped yes. Just strange that low revs it's fine and in neutral she revs up nicely but under loud it splutters

Changed all 4 coils and plugs and problem solved. What I call cylinder 4 coil looked like it was burning out as it looked and smelt different the the others
