Post by: GTI-drive on 05 November 2009, 16:18

Well i got my GTI and its sweet as i love it.
I just dont like that fact it dont like me.
2 main problems feel free to help all advice welcomed and thanked.

1# When i start the car cold it will cut out unless i give it some reves and keep them above tickover level. Also happens when it is still cold and driving when i put clutch in (Pritty dangerous if u ask me) im forever bumping it back off while driving. it dont help when th power stering turns its self off aswell lol.

2# When it is going its good but one thing missing MUSIC!!!. the sterio turns its self off and then on when it wants to but if i twist my key or push it in it works till i let go of key???? any one have/had this problem.

Thanks for any help

Sounds to me like your ecu temperature sensor is faulty. You can see it here.
