« on: 19 August 2012, 22:14 »
I have a 1996 golf gti mk3 8v 2 litre I started getting problems 2 weeks ago when it started choking took it to the garage they replaced ht leads and sparks and dizzy cap including the rotor arm collected the car and it cut out took it back to the garage and they replaced the crank shaft censor cable I collected the car and it cut out again ! Took it back to the garage and they said the dizzy had gone so brought a new one the garage re timed the engine and fitted the new dizzy collected the car again and its still cutting out !! Called the AA out and they said they carnt figure it out its starting up fine and 5 mins later starts spluttering then it dies 10 mins later comes back to life for about 2 mins then cuts out again I've been told it could be a number of things but just wondering what ? The ignition coil pack has been tested its also had a new battery! HELP ME !!

Welcome......

I was going to point you in the right direction for this as posting issues as a first post in a say hello section will usually not get many useful responses..

Seems like you have found the mk3 section now... Hope you fond the answers you're looking for.
