Mk3 estate won't run 1z engine
« on: 12 October 2015, 16:14 »
A mate of mine has picked this wagon up and can't get it to run. Because of this he's loosing heart with it so I'm interested in taking it on but haven't a clue what the problem could be.

This is what he has told me;

it trys to start but just turns over, ive give it sum easy start and it fires up, runs rough and smokes from exhaust but cuts out after like 20-30 seconds

He's had VagCom on it shows no fault?????

It's perfect as it has everything done to it that I would to my next project!!

Cheers
