My 8v gti pb idles high when it warms up, normally about 1100rpm but seems to idle higher if I drive it harder. My isv does vibrate with the ignition on and my vacuum lines have been changed. Any1 ever had this or know the problem? Thanks
My 8v gti cuts out for a split second then cuts back in, almost like I've let off the throttle and got back on it. However I can't replicate it by doing that. No lights come on and I haven't noticed the rev guage dropping or any other signs from the cluster. It's done it whilst I'm crawling along just touching the throttle and while my foots down. It hasn't done it whilst ticking over yet tho. Any ideas guys?
The mk2 has started running on 2 cylinders, I've swapped plugs, leads and injectors from 3 and 4 to 1 and 2 and its still 3 and 4 not firing. I also checked 3 and 4 for a spark. A bit of research online suggests its probably the headgasket between the 2 cylinders. Is there a possibility of a different issue before I get the headgasket done? It's a 1.8 8v gti pb Thanks Doug
My power steering belt keeps getting loose and squeeling, I got a new belt same make and part number as what was fitted dayco 11a0730c I think 11mm wide 730mm long?? Mine goes around the crank, p/s and water pump. It was very tight getting it on, was good for 10miles then started squeeling again. I tensioned it so I could get a 1/4 turn along the bottom of the belt and did the bolts up as tight as I dare without snapping them. Any1 have any ideas? Thanks doug
Just a quick 1, I've looked online and in the Haynes manual. I can't find anything about it. How easy is it to change the external window scrapers? Do they just lift off and pop new 1s on? I have the rubber and the metal to change. Thanks Doug
