Title: just brought a dark turquiose gti mk2 16 valve
Post by: gti16v101 on 04 May 2008, 12:53: hi everyone jus brought a " " and it is misfiring sometimes when hot..doesnt overheat runs fine normally.i then heard a sound coming from the off side rear wheel a whining noise..thought it might be the fuel pump...filled the car up with 30quids of fuel..put some injector cleaner in and booted it and its fine, the fuel got low almost on the red and it started missing again under load, so repeated the above and it cured it.juyst wondering what this fault might be?thanks all
joe

Sounds like the lift pump has gone it sits in the tank and when it goes puts the main pump under more strain and struggles when the tank is nearly empty :)
