Any Ideas?
« on: 30 September 2011, 20:17 »
Hi all,
Anyone got any ideas on the cause of a slight missfire/chug on engine?
My exhaust was blowing a little but had a new stainless steel system all through which helped a bit, im thinking its the spark plugs that may need gapping again and cleaning, anyone think it may be anything else??
Plus my offside indicator at the front aint working ive changed the bulb but still the same as well as the front electric windows would it be the fuses??
Ive got a 1990 mk2 gti so any help would be welcome,
Thanks alot guys. :smiley:

As above. Indicators sit on a sort of spring plate for contact at the back. Just get a small screwdriver or similar to lever it out a little as they begin to loose contact after a few years. Worked on mine anyway!
