Post by: ed325i on 12 January 2007, 07:42

I have had a bit of a miss fire on the golf and now it wont start  :cry:
I have fitted new rotor arm and cap / spark plugs but still no joy.

Did you fit the correct spark plugs?

My neighbour changed his once with some from Halfords and they had listed the wrong ones for his car in their little flip chart  :rolleyes:

His car just about ran on them but he couldn't drive it...

The spark plugs are the 3 prong ones so cant adjust.
I fitted a new blue sensor for its MOT about 3 weeks ago but I did get it from GSF car parts  :rolleyes:
