VW GOLF MK4 .. HELP NEEDED
« on: 30 August 2012, 22:27 »
Hey dubbers my cousin has got a golf mk4 2.0 & it has 2 problems

The first was it kept stuttering so we cleaned the throttle body & it sorted it for 2-3 weeks but now its doing it again :S

Second problem is the coolant needs topping up atleast once a month, I have a mk4 turbo but never had these problems, would appreciate any advice .. cheers

Well I must say I'm surprised no one pounced yet lol
The 2.0 is shall we say not the best gti and will most certainly have more problems than your turbo try the search at top mate  :wink:
