Title: Help....loss of power, coughing and spluttering when starting 51 gti golf
Post by: anna85 on 27 May 2011, 20:08

Hi, I am having some issues with my car - hoping someone can shed some light on it!?

problem is when I start the car up in the morning or when it has been standing for a while, it revs to around 3000 then I lose all power I can put my foot to the floor and it does nothing but cough and splutter. switching the car off and on a couple of times again corrects itself and goes fine. I had some sort of O2 sensor replaced which helped fix it for a while, but its back! Any clues would be greatly appreciated before I get my eyes taken out at the garage...!

thanks
