I had a similar issue as you (OP). Rough idle. It ended up being plugs not tight enough. Check/change the plugs and anything related to them (wires/coil pack/etc.) ---

Cant fit under the car any more? i changed the oil but not the filter. the VR6 has a element filter. i dont have the socket to get it off (its like a 35mm) and i couldnt find one the day i had it on the lift ready to be changed. so i took it to jiffy and had them do it. well they cracked it. haha so…wont take it there again. brett, is there a special tool or just use a socket? i tried a strap wrench but the one i have didnt work. i could get a smaller one but i wasnt sure of VW had a special tool for this or not. ---
