Nice yesterday my agu has been holding bak and then going then it will cut out but start after a few seconds. I plug it into snap on machine and all it said was temp sensor and battery had died. I've changed spark plugs and rocker gasket cause there was bit of oil round spark plug. And now had second hand coil paks. But still hesitating. And wen u foot it to the floor it's like a kangaroo. Only thing is I did run it really low on petrol last white notch past red. Plz plz any help
-
Dont like the sound of second hand coils! Would have thought you would have a misfire code if that was the cause.
Change temp sender, easy and cheap.
I would usually say boost/vac leaks, but you would have thought you would log a code, can you pressure test it?
-
I'll change Ensor tomorrow and no other codes. And air got the stuff to leak test. It's only been like it since yesterday. Really wen it gets upto temp. From cold it's okay
-
being an AGU my gut says ignition amp, but a dying fuel pump can cause similar behaviour.

-
Can I use ignition amp off an aum or does it have to be off the same engine agu
-
theres mk4,s (agu) being broken in the breaking section
did u find the 1 on ur car
-
Yeah I tank I got it. It's got a plug on either end
-
thats the 1 :smiley:
-
Can I use 1 off a aum as mine is agu
-
not sure on that 1 mate am guessing might have to use the right 1 :undecided:
-
aum don't have them
-
Ok still having Problems. Just used a different ignition amp and still te same. I even put the 3bar pressure reg bak on. Only thing next is fuel pump. Any other ideas
-
Drained battery and misfires?
Check your earth leads. Specifically the one from under the battery to the side of the block.
Probably not that, as you'd get a short to ground fault. But it's free and easy to do.
-
Yeah drained battery and now miss fires but not for first few minutes of driving but then holds bak and missfires
-
Changed fuel pump and ignition amp and still the same
-
Ok changed all that. And still the same. Sat in car with it ticking over. Once it reached 80 on temp. It splutted revs dropped to about 500 then rose to 1400 then back to 500 and then cut out. I now I'm a pain and I very much love my golf but she is testing me to the extreme. Plz any other info. I am truly greatfull
-
can you restart it right away or do you have to wait for it to cool down?
-
It starts straight away well a few seconds of holding the key. Some times a bit of accelerator pedal
-
don't suppose that temp sender code popped back up yet?
-
No it hasn't. Still the same. I ran out of petrol earlier. And I now it wouldn't start straight away. But it sounded as if it wasn't firing. My mate said change the crank sensor?? I now wot it is but could this b the cause of my problem
-
my old engine used to do this mate and one night was sat waiting for over an hour before it would restart but as i seized the engine i never got to find out what it was am still curious now as seen a few ppl with this but no one ever seems to post up what the cause was sorry cant be of more help dude
-
did you change the fuel filter when you did the pump? these cars really dont like being run empty/low on fuel.
-
No. I wouldn't think that would have caused the hesitation and loss of boost would it?. The car does seem like not enough petrol getting threw but then again seems to run rich
-
Ok it been 2 weeks and I still got problem. Anybody any ideas wot I can check for. I've got it ticking over and can feel a slight miss fire. And just I had bonnet up wen the revs dropped I could hear it sucking air threw filter. Loads. Anybody??
-
put standard airbox back on and take that induction crap kit off ..did you change ignition amp then? when my maf went on my agu it drove very rich and was hesitating everywhere.. and what caused it was a ebay induction kit :rolleyes: but i did not have misfire and all that :undecided:
did problem get worse after you put in used coil packs?
-
It's proper k&n and was on car wen I bought it 8 months ago. So wouldn't think it's that. And it was still same wen I changed coil packs and yes changed ignition amp. My mate has said he worked on a car that was doing same and it was the oil pump. Web that was changed it was ok.
-
Under heavy load/boost ive had AGU coilpacks start to misfire. Had me and nick puzzled for ages! What plugs you running?
-
Not are how to spell but iridium ones from GSF
