Technical / Re: Help a new Mark 2 owner!
Thank you Monkey, I am based in the Midlands, in between Wolverhampton and Stafford.  The garage I have used are a specialist but I have zero confidence in taking it back there.

Technical / Help a new Mark 2 owner!
I bought my first VW classic January this year, a mark 2 golf gti 16v, 1991, being around classics for over 30 years this one is proving particularly troublesome!
I had poor running problems a few months into ownership, would run rough, little or no acceleration after warm up.
Booked it into a specialist:
£1000 later, service, timing, gear box timing inspection bung, thermostat housing, fuel pump housing, lift pond in tank replaced.

The car runs exactly the same, runs perfect for the first 5 miles, as soon as its warmed up little or no acceleration.
I am really struggling to find a garage that either knows how to resolve this issue…..I really want to enjoy the car ion these simmer months :(
Any advice would be really appreciative
