hey. happened again today, but after the fifth or sixth time i reved it to 6 grand and a load of black smoke came out the exhaust. it smelt of petrol fumes quite bad and engine sounded bit 'burbly'. after about 20 seconds it was fine. i have just had the cat put back on for m.o.t, u rekon there might be a slight blockage through the exhaust system or something?

I have a problem with my car not starting sometimes. most of the time it starts first time, but once or twice a week it starts up then just dies on me. I have tried reving it when starting up again, but it gets to about 4 thousand revs then cuts out again. Ill come back to it the next day and it will start first time again. It has done this when the engine is cold and warm. Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem is???? Thanks.

hi, I need new top mounts on my VR and i have been told that i have mcpherson struts. are the mcpherson struts standard on a VR6? also can i use standard VW top mounts if they are not standard suspension?
