Thanks for the suggestions.

I think I'm going to book it into a garage to get the CO checked as it can't do any harm.

The problem was a cracked valve in the end with mine  :undecided:

If your still on the original blue sender it's worth changing for the £15 they cost to be fair.

Yup still on the original temp sender so will replace that. I can smell fumes when I have my drivers window down really badly, otherwise car runs fine when cold but pops on overun and uses more fuel than it did. Exhaust is sooty and plugs are too. Idle is fine and no cold or hot startup issues. Engine has done 215k so maybe valve probs here also?

Sound like it's just running rich. Have a look at RJ's tuning guide: http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=33253.0
