Hey fellow tregs!
My 07 treg 3.6l is intermittently experiencing some lag or hesitation when driving at around 40 mph. It doesn’t happen all the time but when it does I loose power it gently stuttered for a few seconds then goes away. I haven’t hooked my vagcom up yet as it’s not at home but wanted to throw it out to the community of any ideas that could be causing it.
Thanks

Sounds like misfiring or fueling issues

I ran the VAGCOM through it, and indeed misfire was one of the fault codes, but there are so many others, I'm not sure where to start with it. I bought 6 new coil packs and will also get spark plugs installed over the weekend. But I was reading about issues the brake vacuum could also have on the truck and stutterring in the shifting. When I ride the treg in sport mode, nothing happens, only when in Drive does it buck randomly.

I'm also getting a Check Oil Pressure warning on the MFI, oil is fine and just changed. Maybe the sensor? I have a new one so I will replace it.

Below is some of the more applicable code readouts from the VAGCOM.

Just off the top of my head the six cylinder one should be easy, likely just needs a spark plug or coil pack if they use coil packs

Thanks, I just bought six new coil packs and spark plugs I'm going to try to replace them all at once, I'm hoping the brake booster vacuum hose I ordered fixes some errors as well. I'll post my solutions
