Hi guys,
I have a Mk4 GTi (1.8T) on an 02 plate, which has started coming up with a fault code recently. The fault code is P1296, which seems to be a fuel air metering issue (I have also seen other sites mention the code relating to the cooling system, but i dont think they are for VWs)
I havent noticed any issues with the fuel economy or performance, but have recently noticed that when pulling off in second gear, it seems a little jittery as if not enough fuel is going through. No issues in other gears, and if you push the accelerator a little harder it seems ok, but just not quite right. We have another 1.8T and that doesnt have any similar issues.
i presume both are related, but thought i would see if anyone else has had this issue and what they did to sort it out.
many thanks in advance for any help
Si
