Do you have an induction kit fitted?
-
no the engine is standerd but ive got another problem now the car cut out yesterday and will not start
-
hmmm i had a kinda similar issue with mine recently the engine would cut out when the revs dropped (i thought it was not idling at first). I bought a cheap diagnostics lead and software from ebay called vag com and plugged it into my car which gave me a fault code regarding the engine speed sensor (aka crankshaft impulse sender). Im glad to say that fixed it and im back on the road and it was all DIY without paying any garages loads of cash i aint got.
I would recommend you get one and see what comes up. Its worth a shot if your stuck.

how much did that cost then ill have to buy one for the car
-

hiya mate...
i had the same problem with my 8v, i had a flat spot when i put my foot down, also it would cut out now and again but would start back up.
The problem was a pipe comeing off the top of the head going down to the bottom end, it had a hole in it about the size of a 10p peice.
Its now running like a dream with no problems
Hope this helps!!!

i have the same problem if i come to a stop some times the revs drop off and the car stalls, its getting embarrasing... :sad:but she is also a bit lumpy ...i suppose flat spots...not to mention the heat shield on the down pipe has come loose and is ratteling....if it dont rain...then it just pours :cry:

The engine speed sensor was £45 from GSF car parts. However I wouldnt recommend u just go out and buy the sensor for the sake of it.
As i said before buy a diagnostics lead so you can try and find out whats wrong with it, all u need is a laptop with a usb port. This is what i bought:

Behind the oil filter at the front of the engine nearer to the gearbox side. Its a right pig to get to as u need to remove the front engine mount and starter motor bolts.
