Golf gti mk4 jolting under load and boost and engine management light on
« on: 16 September 2012, 19:34 »
Hi I was out for a little drive yesterday when I was two miles from home I noticed a slight jolting when I put my foot down then all of a sudden the engine management light came on, Other than that car is fine no smoke or knocks or anything only the fact mpg has gone down a tiny bit any help would be great.

Ignition coil? Mine went a little at first (same symptoms) then gave up completely a few miles further down the road.
