due to its lack of power and ability to idle or rev, had a new idle valve a fresh set of plugs and a new rotor arm and disi cap

wow what a difference the gti has got its mojo back  :grin: :grin: :grin:

also sorted the hatch wiring as the wiper had stopped working along with the number plate lights  :shocked:

now clear ,bright and legal  :cool:

all thanks to Alan at 'discount vw audi center hoylake' a mk1-mk2 god  :smiley:
