Default car bucking in 1st and 2nd @ low rpms. anything alarming?

at my work parking lot there is a 5 mph speed limit so i usually put it in 1st gear and roll through. my car didn't like that this morning. it was bucking and felt like it was going to stall at 1500 rpms. was happening in second too. it is running fine otherwise.

Default hmmm

Just a suggestion but...

1. Check the car for misfire codes

2. Swap the BPV out and put in a TT valve just to check. Sounds like a sticking valve to me

Default i will check it for codes as soon as i can get it into a shop, i wish someone in vt had a vag tool i

could use. anyone? otherwise i already sold my old tt valve so i probably won't do that. i was supposed to have the DV adjusted tighter in the next month so i will have ronin check it then.

Default Just first and second? Odd...

When my MAF died car would violently shudder at 3900 rpm, smooth in each gear below that threshold.

Cheers,
