Title: mk 2 GTi Over fueling problem
Post by: Wiztic on 21 January 2011, 16:16
Hello all,

wonder if anyone could shed some light of the most common causes of mk 2 golf 1.8 8v over fueling? I know its been cold recently, but even when warm my 5 door chugs and thumps like a big V8 lol. Poors white smoke out the back, but as its not loosing or leaking water and eating fuel I suppected a petrol problem?

Any help or advice most welcome, no mater how obvious :)

Thanks all :)
