Loss of power & juddering especially at low revs, i've changed plugs & was going to change coil packs but didn't want to spend all that cash if it wasn't that?

If I was going to guess that would be my guess,
But I really don't like guessing,
And VW has excellent diagnostics so plugging in a scanner would be my choice.

I would second the coil packs .
