Title: Sluggish and lumpy
Post by: Justins145bhpMK1 on 05 May 2004, 11:19

Hell all, been a while since ive been on here.

My 2.0 8v has become increasingly sluggish and unresponsive of late.

Had a problem with oil getting up into the air pipe as some idiots at a garage had overfilled the oil. Cleaned al that out and it seemed to run better but has now got worse again. It fels like its stuttering through accelearation. Help??
