Yeah man a while ago mine used to rev very randomly, sometimes when I started it up when the engine was warm it would idle at 2-3000 rpm, then if I turned it off and tried to start it again it wouldnt have any of it, would have to wait 5-10 minutes until it would live again. Very strange little faults with my golf. I get smoke billowing out of the ignition switch area aswell but only on ignition, goes away when engine is running. Cant bring myself to gte rid of it though so looks like I'm gonna have to live with it, adds to the character  :smiley:

Small world, only joined this forum randomly after seeing someone mention it on an aircooled vw site. Just nipped out in it to get some beers and it would seem that the light n buzzer come on at over 2500rpm whether under load or not (today anyway).
Cheers for offering to have a look at it for me, who shall I ask for when I bring it down?

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
