McPikie 3 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 fueling its arse offcould be faulty plugs. Try new plugs and leads first, and get it on VAG com Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I am guessing you have checked the plugs are in tightly and the leads on properly mate ? had couple probs with my magnecor leads where they worked themselves loose Link to post Share on other sites
UnitedMotorsport 55 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 My guess is the lambda probe is shot. Link to post Share on other sites
