the joys! i have had many a problem since owning my first gti ( 2 months in) first i noticed it wasnt reving past 5000rpm! then the car started to stall while driving ( any speed any time ), then it wouldnt idle! ( still doesnt!! ) then just in case that wasnt enough every now and then the revs would suddenly drop off and you can hear a relay chattering away!, after a second or two it will be fine!!!
grrrrrrrr thiunking about selling to be honest!!!
had the car vag-com, errors that came up......air mass sensor, lambda probe and hall sender....
1st - investigated lambda probe, has been bodged in the past, one of the wires was broke.......fixed...wow!!! was like a new car for a day...reving all the way round and alot quicker...( lasted a day till it started to stall again and ever since then it wont idle or rev past the 5000rpm mark ) buying a new one friday from gsf...fingers crossed!!!
2nd - picked up a new air mass sensor and seal last night...fitted.... now will rev all the way round......beginning to confuse me now...but still wont idle...it will idle if i disconnect lambda probe tho?
?? gotta be bust right??
3rd - changed relays 167 and 30, well thats done jaff all!!!
4th - gonna get vag-com next week after all the bits have been changed and see..... if its still knackered im gonna cry....
