I have a 2003 Jetta 2.0l. Started the car the otherday and the car idled very rough, I noticed the check engine light was blinking and kept blinking for about 3 minutes and stayed on (oh by the way the check engine light has been on for about a month need to replace the O2 sensor) As I started to drive the car it was bucking and had no power, hills I drove up in 5th gear I had to down shift to 4th. Also I noticed I am getting interference on the radio, It radio noise doesn't speed up as the car goes faster just a constant sort of thumping static.

i had an extreme power loss on my 85'. there is a small test pipe on the exhaust system with a little rubber cap. the cap failed with a tiny bit of material still attached. so, when under accel it would open creating a MASSIVE leak. with the engine turned off it fell back into place. cool design feature, the pipe points directly at the wiring for the cold start valve (i think). hot gases distroyed the wiring. this same pipe design feature is on a 928. al blose had the same failure on his 928. mine was much easier to fix.
