Hello there everybody!!   

I brought my first Golf GTI last september.... MK 3, 2.0 16v, black and gorgeous!!

I need a little bit of advice though please... She's always had problems with acceleration, stuttering and loss of power sometimes, very sluggish. She's had new HT leads, new plugs, full service and she's still doing it!

Any ideas fellow GTI owners??

Cheers

Nat   :cool:

check all the vacuum hoses in the engine bay, also might be worth gettting the fuel filter changed as it could be gunked up and needing a change to let the fuel flow again. Might also be worth running an injector cleaner through the fuel line aswell.

Oh and new thread nat  :wink:

Welcome to the forum alnes.  :smiley:

Nat: Do a search in the mk3 section as there's a few bits about ECU's and relays failing. Try this thread as a starting point -->
