HELP!!!!
« on: 21 November 2012, 21:01 »
Just bought a 2000 mk4 1.9 TDI.. i bought it just a hour ago.. I had a test drive it was perfectly fine, when i got home it was perfectly fine but then as i was driving it stalled.. i thought it was due to the flat battery so i restarted it and tried to reverse but it goes forward and stalls again.. even in 1st gear it feels like its stuck in a heavy gear and stalls.. Could any one help? this is my first mk4 and ive not had it longer than a hour and its already playing up :sad:
