When accelerating hard in second and third, sometimes it seems to hit a flat spot and the car seems to jerk and loose power.
The other thing is the steering. At normal road speeds it is second to none, but when parking or pulling out of a tight space at slow speeds the steering gets really heavy.
I would really appreciate any help, info, or an idea as to the rough cost to put these little problems behind me.

Hi Rob!
Did you get your problem sorted?..Only i have a simillar sort of problem(1999 A4 1.9 tdi) with flat spotting,especially when the engines warm and setting off from junctions or lights in low revs?I usually end up over revving it to try and compensate for the drop off in power..
Its a pain in the a*se really!
