2.0 TDi 140 Power Delivery

[Willber]

Afternoon guys,

I have a PD engined 2.0 tdi Passat which seems to have a somewhat jerky power delivery upon partial throttle in 1st and 2nd gear. Is this normal? If I try to pull away slowly but holding revs in 1st to around 3k it feels slow and then surges, and then surges again. Is this a characteristic of the engine/turbo lag?

Thanks for any help
