Title: Which Code reader ?/Engine Fault
Post by: Richard R on 25 December 2012, 15:23
In need of advice/help (petrol t)99/00-Is it worth investing in a decent/budget reader ? just thinking it would help me in my quest to find my current problem (had its fare share) I fear what damage has occurred/is it in limp mode-had heating issue-not going past 90 c but dropping off-erratic idle-got it serviced also heating issue-got it back yeah heating fault still ongoing.so I changed stat-coolant-Dip holder- snapped lol. Took it for a spin after heat through vents and a few top ups-going really well then- engine stop !.water pump I hear you say-I fear so even though it had been replaced before me say 3 yrs ago-I have plenty of heat-the odd erratic drop in idle 900 to 800.

Any Info would help.

Golf GTI T 120,000.Used it for work lugging ladders-tools-across fields-muddy sites for the last 2 yrs-great car.
