Hi all, i have a mk 3 GTI MK3 AGG engine code, if i put my foot down slowly it pulls fine up though the revs but it i put my foot flat to the floor it pulls back and seams to jerk ( miss fire but not a miss fire ) . I have had new plugs leads dissie etc etc but its still the same if i leave it in 4th up to a ton then put it in 5th it wont go any more and  it just seams to pull back and help will be welcome thanks again

Coilpack might be on its way out.

you guys are thinking of a "phatttt" mk3  :grin:

Sounds like something is up, coil pack will cause a misfire! so quite possible its time for a new one, check for vac leaks, MAF sensor could also cause, it  you can unplug the MAF and take it for a spin, see if it feels any better?

I have got round to sorting my car out , new plugs, leads, oil filter, oil ,dissie cap and rota arm , took it for a spin and its still playing up ( wont go over 100mph ) . So i had a look on the good old Golf GTI.co.uk and it pointed to the TB needs cleaning out as it was black inside. I got myself a tin of cleaner an a old rag and tooth brush took my time . I put it all back together and took it out for a spin, it feels like a new car SORTED :) It pulls like it should, i will do it every 6 months from now on when i do a service thanks all  :cool: :cool:
