Title: gti playing up
Post by: 01664gti on 01 September 2008, 13:05

Hi guys for the first time ever my car played up last night,I pulled up at the lights and went to pull of and it coughed and spluttered and died.It started first turn of the key though and has not done it since.

Im not sure if its anything to worry about, But i have never had to do anything under the bonnet engine wise and just wondered as its just done 112k is there anything i can do cleaning wise like throttle body.

I also have a spare isv but dont even know where it is lol.But seriously if you guys have any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated

Is there anyone near to me thats got vag.com to see whats at fault, i have beer tokens
