hello everyone,

I drive a mk2 driver 1.6. its got a weber carb on there, iv been trying to get the thing tuned up to reduce its thirsty and very unecological fuel habits (seems to be doing something around 25mpg!?  :huh: ) it runs fine once its warmed up after giving it a little choke. although does seem to have slight flat spots in its acceloration.
Recently after giving it another little tweak i think iv got my mixture right as the engine sounds a lot smoother than when i first got it and the plugs are showing to be neither covered in soot or white, but im getting a strange sqeeking noise when i come off the accelorator. no idea what this is. Pinking maybe? although im not intirely sure even what that is  :tongue:

OR it could be something completely unrelated, in which case DAMN!

Any help for a novice much appriciated  :smiley:

Cheers

if it needs a bit of choke to run right and  squeeks  i think you may have an air leack
all the VW's have gone bar 1.
