Ive replaced all you have apart from the Engine speed sensor.. thats ?116 from VW so gonna see if i can find one at a scrappy.. not a clue where or what it looks like so if anyone can send me a pic or guide me it would be appreciated.

Ive also heard it might be a timing issue.. Between us im sure we can crack this....

Cheers

ARGHHHHH!!!!   

Its doing it again! I change the relays and all seemed well. It lasted 260 miles untill the gitters came back. I thought it may have been a one off cos it lasted 130 odd miles untill the next time, whereas before it was messin up every 40 mile or so...

Not sure what to try next. Any ideas? I think ive tried all cheap options. Is it time to part-ex it at a garage  before i waste any more money on it.

HELP!!!

Maybe try going to VW for the diagnostic check.
I've tried specialists for this service before, sometimes they are a bit 'iffy'.

Im at my wits end with mine. I have diagnostics a plenty and replaced everything discussed before apart from the crank sensor but in addition the lambda sensor.

Last guy that looked at it told me to run it through with injector cleaner which I have done for 500 miles, bugger all difference. HE is suggesting now I should have the injectors serviced..

What does anyone think as to whether this is the right route. Im so sick of it im considering trading in the car.

Ive just blown another ?20 trying some 10k boost a few people on here suggested, the car runs a little smoother but the juddering is still there, i might cry soon im all out of ideas.

I have owned VW's for the last 13 years and this MK3 GTI is by far the worst piece of cr*p ive owned. Even when it was going ok it was boring and slow. Im thinking of trying a diffewrent Marque.
