I put a bunch of miles on my 1.4T this weekend on Labor Day vacation. But I have noticed at take off from a dead stop it chugs a little bit, almost like the front end is vibrating. Kinda like if I took the traction control off and just mashed it, the front end kinda goes loose. I only have like 1500 miles on my Eco and it is bothering me that I go to take off and I can feel it in the front end.

Anyone else experience something similar?

+1 on the PCV cover.

Remove the spark plug cover and find the round disc with a vent at the top right. Stick your finger over it - if working properly, you should NOT feel suction or be able to discern a change in idle.
