hi, my golf has been throaty when i start it and slightly ruf when running.
my friend who works for vw put it on the computer and it was ok. when we
took the air filter out it was ok at first but never lasted long so i got
a new filter and it was ok at first again but started playing up again..
when we looked at the airflow meter it has the wrong conection clips it
has lugs on both sides but my plug part has a larger lug-clip point on the
top. could it be this or have u any onther ideas? please help. many thanks

i put spark plugs and fuel filte on aswell. we took the air filter out and
it started and ran well so i went and got a new filter and tried that, it
started and ran well for a couple of hours then played up again..

move of the car holds back and then takes off ?

Sure sounds like it, due to the fact that your complaining about load
related performance problems. Wire in the appropriate connector.
