Title: E Plate golf Cab Gti Mk1 or mk2???
Post by: gbmgbm1 on 23 May 2005, 09:37

Simply question would just like a simple answer, Its because i have got fuelling problems. Anyone got an idea what common fuelling problem happen and how they are resolved? It seems after driving for a while the car coughs and splutters and cuts out at low revs, its as if the fuel isnt getting through correctly. Any help will be appreciated

If it's an E reg cab then it's a MK1 mate, they never made MK2 cabs. They made Mk1 cabs from 79/80 to 93 and then went straight to a MK3.

Is your cab a carb model? If so could be a problem with your peirberg carb. Some people do attempt to fix them, I just put a Weber on mine and it sorted it  :smiley:

What is the condtion of your fuel filler neck, is it rusted? If it is you could have rust in your fuel system.

Its a Gti so injection model, The filler neck seems to have been replaced fairly recently, no signs of rust from what i can see, I notice i get a whirring noise from under the car when the engine is running, is this normal??? 1988 E plate Cabriolet
