Yes, the car 'judders' when stationary with the revs fluctuating between 400
and 1600 rpms. On some occasions the car nearly stalls. The problem is
more evident when the climate control is set to LO.

Just out of curiosity: can you elaborate what the problem is?

Thank you.

Don't know if the FSI still keeps the old throtle body. If it does, have
them conduct TB adaption.

Then check MAF, oil dip vacuum, replace plugs, and finally, if nothing
works, get them to replace the 4 coil packs and the whole ECU. This can be
done in less than two hours. Why the eight months?

If the engine has not been abused when cold and oil checks and changes have
shown nothing abnormal, it should work fine. If it doesn't, it's probably a
real lemon, just drop the car and get them to give you an equivalent
discount on a new one.
