Yay! I finally solved my bug's hesitation problem!
Changed the pre-cat O2 sensor a week ago. No hesitation since!
This has been bothering me for years!

No worries, not speeding. Just happy not to be giving myself whiplash
 I know I'm not the only one with this problem, so just trying to get the word out there about a possible solution   Last edited by LadybugEwa; 10-31-2008 at 06:40 AM..

How did you do it and where (and for how much) you got the part?... I think I may need to do it too....

There's a good DIY on the Vortex (not NB-specific, but the 2.0 Jetta instructions were spot-on).
Bought the sensor from a Canadian online place, $135. As the DIY describes, the old sensor can be hard to get out. The b/f used penetrating lubricant AND small butane torch (see safety disclaimers in the aforementioned DIY). It was a 1 hr job, and most of that time he spent getting the old sensor out. I had a second reason for changing this sensor, my emissions were high in NO gas. Of course, I can't guarantee it will solve your problem as well. But there's a good chance I would have tried changing this sensor earlier, if there was a thread like this one on the Org already, instead of wondering what it was for 3 years.

Its only when I am moving off in 1st gear it (sometimes) jerks a little.... I think perhaps I am giving too much gas.. I am not sure...
Otherwise he runs like a charm. Sometimes I think he believes he is a turbo.
