I have a J plate golf gti 8v covered 115k miles.
recently i have had a few problems with the car running properly.
while driving along it starts to stutter, like if it was on kanagroo petrol, on thurs this week i had my injectors replaced, but today started again! any ideas on wat it might be?
or if anyone else has the same problem? and how they resolved it!
cheers
-
Fuel pump or relays?
-
fuel filter need changing desperately?
when does it actually do it? at a certain rpm, from cold, or just whenever it feels like it?

it does it now and then! just as i am in a rush usually! LOL never at weekends! tried some of stp i think its called to clean out the injectors! wat effects would i suffer from removing the fuel injectors??
-
Change the fuel pump relay!
-
Change the oil, oil filter and sparkies
-
I doubt that will help much ;)
-
Mine stutterd when i put the two sensors on top of the black plastic housing in the wrong order. (Its the part attached to the head)
Could be something silly like that ???

... eeew I stood on a moderator. :-*

love ya too :-*

I agree, dont think changing oil etc would make a difference. Have you tried any of that petrol cleaner stuff ??
It does sound like ya petrol routes are caked in sh!te, although saying that have you cjecked rota arms etc. With problems like this always start with the cheapest cures, u never know eh :)
-
Could be crud in the bottom of the tnk gettin picked up i suppose?
-
Well if I was a betting man I would say it sounds like the same problem I had last month....

Quite easy to do and not too complex a task. Completely cured my misfire problem and all I have now is a stability issue at idle. Going to me cleaning out the ISV over xmas to see if that cures it.
Not sure if I am wrong but doesn't the golf draw the fuel from the bottom of the tank via the lift pump and if this is the case, then I doubt there will be much chance of crud being pulled through as a) its constantly taking the fuel from the bottom and b) are they not plastic tanks and therefore resilisent to crud/rust ?
Just my 2 mince pies worth ;)
Merry crimble peeps 8)

crud doesnt always float! and 0n 12+ year old cars loaads of crud can get in i had an a reg mk2 and there was loads of sh!te in that petrol tank!

I had the same prob with my 8v.Whilst going on holiday and driving at a steady 80mph,when i came off the gas and then went back on-the car would jerk .
It was very :(ing.
When i got home i was told to put 98ron fuel in,as i had allways run it on normal unleaded 95 ron-this along with some fuel cleaners seemed to do the trick.
BUT.....a problem i have is that at low speeds in say traffic,if you come off the accelorator too quick and go back on,the car seems to jerk forward and backward.
I have been round the houses with this and changed every thing you can think of-fuel injectors,ecu,throtlebody,all electrics..the list goes on and on.But the problem still persists.
I went back to my local indipendant vw garage and after a test drive the so called expert told me that is how mk2's drive!!!!!
M8v has done 150k,but i still drives great apart rom this other prob.
Mind you my old passat GT with the same engine 'pb' has done 200,00 and runs like a new motor (apart from leaking power steering and wheel bearing)and this old passat does not JERK at all....
sometimes you will have to hold your hands up and except that you can get a mystery fault that will cost you more ??? and hair loss than the car is worth.
STILL COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS,YOU COULD OWN A FORD OR VAUXHALL :o :-[
-
sounds like fuel problems to me,change the fuel filter and also check the fuel pump and the wiring. hope you get it sorted soon
-
my 8v is exactly the same.when i bought it she was fine,all of a sudden it started jerking when i accelerated.changed all the basic stuff but to no avail.looks like i'm stuck with it! ???
