FYI, OP 's complaint seems to be the GTI’s engine misfires under light acceleration. TSB (above) suggests the cause might be clogged injectors or intake valve deposits.

Oh I get it now. A miss under light acceleration. Some of you folks must deal with the general public to be able to decipher this in short order. In 11th grade my speech teacher did a palm reading. I thought it was amazing what she could tell about my future.

I expect OP doesn’t know how to type a space using their cell phone. It took me some time to figure that out myself. Worse, when I tried to sign on to this website during the peak-pandemic era using cell phone wifi connection, I discovered I had to type an underscore character “\_” It took me 2 hours to figure out how to do that … lol …
