Alright, I've just picked up my new baby - '90 8v digi - having let my old 16v rust in peace. She has a full scorpion system & a 57i induction kit. The problem is there's something strange happening when pulling away. She kangaroos unless you give it lots of gas. My old 16v and 8v K-Jet never had the problem :sad: Any ideas?

:grin:

Does it idle and start ok?

Plugs sparking and air filter all ok?

I'm thinking have a search for 'blue temp sensor' as a possibility. Mine was similar when it went.

And its ISV :wink:

Post by: kittie on 23 January 2008, 09:20: I recently had a similar problem with my 1992 8v. There was a split in the big fat rubber pipe that goes from the air box to the throttle thingy (no clue of proper names, sorry). The split was underneath so couldn't see it at all at first.

The kangarooing was the only problem in this case, no other issues.

New pipes from VW are something rediculous like Ã‚£80-odd so got a non-split one off ebay, cured the problem.

But yes, please type properly or you'll get lots of abuse and not many useful replies I'm afraid!

Afghan you muppet! I didn't notice either though.

You never know, perhaps SouthernMonkey still checks back daily for any updates to his thread.

And felt sorry for the illiterate one as he gained no replies! And sorry again, but it was an icv on my old pug.... god forbid but i got mixed up!
