Hi, I have a K plate 92 2.8VR6 mk3 golf ( ODB1 ) Last night I fitted a bonrath power rohr pipe to replace the pipe between the MAF sensor and the throttle body, as my plastic one was cracked. and also a new induction kit. The car already had an induction kit on its just a newer one, other one was looking a bit old. When I started the car up, the idle was very irrectic, going up and down all the time, I have cleaned out the idle valve before and it was fine but it has now stopped clicking. MAF is Fine, Oil filter is not an oiled one, and all plugs & conections etc back on properly. was look

Leads only changed 1000 miles ago plugs are new and are denso, which are way better than the bosch i first had and then the VW ones which were guff. only place to plug in is VW garage in this area and its 60 miles away and only open during the week, im only off at weekends, I think its more a fuel problem, it seems to only have done since I nearly ran out of fuel a few months ago.

I have a 92 vr6 golf, and sometimes when im driving along the road, the car seems to chock its self, and then suddenly go so its sort of like kangrooin?! but it always clears its self, Have changed fuel filter, checked carbon filter, cleaned air filter ( induction cone ), cleaned air mass sensor, cleaned throttle body etc... The car is quite high mileage 160K but it is serviced regularly, I have it in auto trader today so would like to try and sort. PS i only do about 2 miles a day in town drivin, could it be that the car just needs used more often?! Think it has been chipped as well. Cheers g

Not had time to check pump yet but have checked the cylinders compresion, and its a ok! thank god.. its all betwwen 175psi and 185psi ( 12-13bar approx )... But took my plugs out to clean again last night and remembered something, when I got the car the spark plugs were single tipped, and I changed them, with plugs I bought from VW, which were double tipped... The ones in the car are 101 000 035 AB ( VW number ) , but it says in my manual they should be 101 000 025 AA.. not sure if the picture in the manual is correct but it shows a single tip and says to ajust the gap to 0.7mm. but the dou

Ok im about ready to cry as the car is running really bad again!! Black smoke, missing, and doing about 12 mpg, cant get hold of the guy to reset my ECU! surely it could not be just because of that?! I love my VR6 but am getting sick of it now!! also just had to do 2 rear springs, wheel bearing and need some paint work touched up! The plugs looked ok once I had cleaned them. but they must be black again, could this be a more serious running problem other than a sensor, probe or ECU prob......?

Hi guys, me again, think I am going to shoot my car!! or kick it maybe! Ok month or so back was having probs withs, missin, black smoke, and irratic idle ~ Had it diagnostic tested, and it came up that the car was doing 49kilometer per hr, when it was not movin, and also no voltage from lambder probe.... %-6 Next day I was at the Scottish meet, and she was running v bad! !ill chuffed out black smoke and ran on 4 for ages, spat out flames etc..
