too much air or not enough fuel getting through??  timing might be too low. id try this first. ;)

there are plenty of other people on this forum capable of that question, vr6 wasnt the only person here that has ever looked in an engine bay.  what about rich, mark1, david hawkins to name just a few.  :)

nah i just found out today thanks to slip of someones tongue.. otherwise it'd have been moderated out of sight i'm sure./

no...

wtf... where did i say that? dont put words in my mouth.

i said he'd help. i didnt say no one else could.

in fact despite his faults.. he was always the most helpful whenever i had a problem.

i think the self styled mk1 and mk2 elite overlook how much he's helped in areas like the mk3 forum where they dont tread.

Personally, I have no doubt that from a technical point of view he was indeed very helpfull.

It's just a shame he acted like a n ob  ::)

yeah it is a shame.

i made that post before i knew WHY he had been banned.. i have no idea why people were afraid to post up the reason

its also the reason why we couldnt understand it.. why hide the fact.. its like people are ashamed they did it

Before you go pulling things apart - put new injectors into the car.

They cost ?20 each and you need the Bosch part unless you wanna pay funny money to VW. And replace all 4 at once.

The injectors should cure most of the problem. If they don't then its not wasted money as they are only meant to last 90k miles in the first place. And hands up all those people who change their injectors - no one does.
