I have a VW Passat 1.8 CL petrol, the problem is when I take foot of the accelerator the car often gives a little shake like if it looses power for a second.It does it in any speed and usually when warmed up. I've already changed the spark plugs, cables and distributor cup and the rotor arm but nothing helped. Any ideas? Thanks. Johny

I have passat 1.8 2000,and i have recently noticed that sometimes car starts shaking and wouldnt have enough power to accelerate. First i tought,it must be the spark plugs or air filter,but it still does the same.its like the one cylinder its not working.

It may be worth checkin out the base gasket on the carb as they quite often leak, also is the auto choke ok
