Volkswagen Golf hesitation between 2500 and 3000 rpm when accelerating

Car: Volkswagen Golf
Variant: V5
Model Year: 2001

Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss

There is a hesitation between 2500 and 3000 rpm when accelerating through the gears, it is more noticeable in 2nd and 3rd gear its there in 4th but not so pronounced and I can't tell its there in 1st or 5th.

Any ideas?

Could be an ignition coil pack breaking down under load causing intermittent misfire , common fault .
