Hi, firstly this looks like a really excellent, friendly forum...it's a shame I only find these places when I've got problems, rather than when I had some good news to post!!
Ive had a P reg 1997 2.0L Golf GTi (MK3) for just over 12 months now, and a few months ago it started to misfire and judder as I got up to 60mph. It's now taken to really judder, bone shakingly so, at 60mph, and I'm lucky if I can get it to go past about 70mph at all even with foot to the floor. It also tends to occasionally cut out as I stop at traffic lights, etc. I think it's lost some power too, but with it happening slowly, I haven't really noticed.
I've replaced the spark plugs, plug leads, distributor cap and rotor arm, but no improvement at all. It's booked into a garage on Monday to be connected to a computer for some sort of electronic diagnostic test.
I've read through some of the other posts, and a lot of people mention the MAF...is this the onboard computer? The display all seems to be working, and it's showing a normal MPG, around 35ish, even with this problem. Could it be playing up?
Any ideas at all would be much appreciated!!!!!!
