At 85,000 miles, my car bucking and rattling sound

What is your question?

Well I just recently begun to have issues with my 2006 jetta volkswagon. It idles up really high, but does not pick up speed, and when it does increase in speed, the car bucks. My engine also makes a rattling sound when I accelerate. I went to a repair shop and they told me I needed a tune up and a new water pump and I let them them fix it, but I still have the same issues, does any one have knowledge and experiance with these issus? Thanks in advance!

Is your check engine light on? Did you replace your timing belt?

No engine light, but I didn't rplace timing belt, I think I'll get that checked ASAP, thanks for the response.

The bucking is a concern. With all that bucking the check engine should have set for misfire, or transmission shift solenoid. Something...

Much like Hal says your check engine should be on. Why don't you send over your VIN number and I'll it thru the VW computor to see if there are any open recalls or campaigns. Have the coils been replaced? Mike
