[carrington865]

hi
i have a 2001 aum engin 1.8 t golf. sometimes it feels abit hesitant at low revs and a lil bit spluttery when apply a lil bit of throttle. its ok wen put foot down

and ideas as to the cause other than leads/plugs?
cheers

Start off by giving the Throttle body a clean. Details of How To in the maintainence section.

Try this and see if it makes a difference. And go from there

cheers il give that a go. is there anythin to look out for sensor wise. i ready in a thread once a guy had splutter issues and turned out to ba a sensor

I had a similar issue, my lambda sensor had gone but I think you would have a few more symptoms, car is running very rich and a very strong smell, poor mileage etc.

If you have a garage near you take it for an emissions test?

i did 200 miles to 35 litres of fuel dunno if that about right?
i am gna get a full service done and clean throttle body too then take it from there
