Driving home the other day and i found that when i put my foot all the way down on the throttle the car would shudder and jerk. Immediately after this the exhaust emission light flashed, by the end of the journey the light was permanently on. Drove it the next day and found that i could drive perfectly well if i have my foot half way down on the throttle, but it continued to shudder when it was all the way down.

I have bought the car in the last month so don't know that much about Golfs. The only thing that coincided with the problem was me removing the head unit, but i doubt that would have effected it in any way.

Any advice would be really appreciated.

Perhaps a sensor is your exhaust system is messing up..I would say hook a code reader up and see what code it's throwing and go from there..usually autoparts stores will do it for free sometimes
