quick question
« on: 25 November 2009, 11:24 »
got the common problem of the 8v not reving past 5000rpm.

is it because the timing belt is out or it because the distributor isn't alinged correctly?

VAG com shows hall sender fault but i've replaced dizzy/sender and cleared fault. fault still comes back on.
