It's probably a misfire, I had that problem in my 1.8t AND my 2.8. I changed my spark plugs, the spark plug wires and coilpack and the problem went away.

i would also check your throttle alignment. If its only when you first start the car, i would think it could be that. you should do the throttle trick.

I'm having the same problem. I'll try the spark plug / wire change and see what happens.
