VW Golf hesitates/jerks during acceleration above 80 mph

I own a VW Golf, model year 2018, with a diesel engine and 135,000 km on the odometer. I have the following problem: When accelerating, the car jerks, especially above a speed of approximately 130 km/h. Otherwise, everything works perfectly. Has anyone had similar experiences or can give me tips on how to solve the problem?

Check if your fuel filter is clogged or dirty, as this can cause jerking during acceleration. It's a relatively easy and inexpensive fix. Let me know if this resolves the issue or if you need further assistance.
