Title: 1st Time Mk4 Golf GTI Turbo owner
Post by: salgar3176 on 21 November 2011, 19:41

Hi all great site
Picked up me car last night drove great all the way home (120 miles) until the last set of traffic lights that are on a slight hill near my house i
Stalled the bloody thing wouldnt restart DOH.
The guy said when i bought it because its a turbo you have to press the throttle a few times before starting is this right (something about having a 5th injector )
I had the Bora 2.0 sport which started 1st flick of the key every morning had the usaual problems with failed maf and temp sens which i had changed.
But the new car baffles me as to why you need to pump the throttle before starting any one got any ideas also the random stall maybe new car syndrome ie clutch postion ?
although i think i must of flooded the car trying to get it to restart 5 mins later hey presto bit ruff for a few 10 seconds then all fine drove the remaining 600 yards
