jb9999 0 Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 yeah, same here ni-golf. Going to change fuel pump relay tomorrow and also put a gasket between tb and upper inlet manifold.The cheapest of some of the suggestions I've had. Will let you know of the results,as your prob sounds exactly the same as mine. Link to post Share on other sites
jb9999 0 Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Cheers baz. Cleaning the tb did make a lot of difference but did not cure it. It idles beter , but sometimes drops to about 700rpm and sounds very lumpy but has not cut out. Yet anyway. Link to post Share on other sites

bazz780 0 Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 try disconnecting the air flow sensor and see if the problem immediately goes away (take it for a short spin) could well be the air flow sensor!! Link to post Share on other sites
vr200 0 Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 ok update: i was just sat idleing, i started reving it and then it started to do something wierd, i kept my foot steady on the accelarator and the rev needle was just bouncing between 2 and 2.5k the revs were up and down like a yo yo, then it cleared and was normal!! this is frustrating me Link to post Share on other sites
jb9999 0 Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Tell me about it! Just changed the puel pump relay and, suprise suprise, no difference what so ever. Haven't tried the air flow sensor yet tho. Looks like it could be a new tb jobbie. Anyone know how much they are ? Don't look cheap. Link to post Share on other sites
ni-golf 0 Posted February 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 found this http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/forum/post/?f=4&t=8824seems to describe my problem exactly, althou no mention of it only happenin when warm.. plugs and leads how much are we talking?

jb9999 0 Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Depends where you go mate. Spark plugs from VW a tenner each nearly but you can get cheaper. Leads from Vw were £20 each but you can get Magnecor ones For abot a hundred a set. Hope it cures your problem! Link to post Share on other sites
jezmoz 0 Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Probably nothing to do with this , but when my mfa sensor came off it spluttered and stalled, faulty mfa??? Link to post Share on other sites
ni-golf 0 Posted February 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 would that show up in vag-com ? Link to post Share on other sites
jb9999 0 Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Have yo checked your leads Alun? Mine looked very new, but also very cheap, when I put new plugs in so eliminated them as the problem. But yesterday was taking them off to check and they just disintergrated in me hands! think this may be the problem. Just ordered some magnecor ones from awesome , think they were £95 incuding vat and delivery. Think the 7 & 8mm ones were the same price.Hope this helps. Link to post Share on other sites

trispage 0 Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 probably not going to be much help but i had similar problem on OBD1, after much faffing i found it was the connector into the coil pack. It was only ever so slightly not on correctly. Reseated and it was fine. Hope it helps, if not then stick with it people. Link to post Share on other sites

bazz780 0 Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 try the air flow sensor trick - unplug it and see if it still plays up - a faulty air flow sensor can cause lack of power and hesitation as well as lumpy running. worth a free try imo Link to post Share on other sites
