i`m glad to here that u have fixed your problem in my case i have havd a new distributer and the new said relay but my problem is still there i am going to take it to a rolling road today and see what happends then

let u knows

well i have just had my car put through its passes on the garages computer and what do u know it passed all the test so the guy came out with me in the car with the computer plugged in and the car stalled at a junction.
Nothing showed up on his computer so took it back to the garage and they told me it is not electrical or sensor fault.
what sugestion they did come up with is to buy 10k carbon cleaner which u spray up into the air flow to clean all carbon.
So i have just done that will post in next couple of days to let you all know what its like

chin up folks

10k carbon cleaner works
any body with this fault should try it it cost ?20 and does the job.
It is the first time my car has not stalled really happy now

I had the same problem cutting out randomly with oil light flashing, got it scanned and was told it was the speed sensor (intermintent problem)?, luckilly enough i checked this forum and replaced relay (no 30), and the car wsa finbe for around 60miles. Had one slight stall with oil light flashing this morning. so wanted to know if any one knows what a speed sesnor does, or is it jsut worth keeping a spare relay in the car?

it is worth trying (Y K 10 BOOST) it comes in a spray you add it in your air intake cleans the carbon out of the housing where you have some sensors and idle speed i have posted this before but name was wrong for ?20 it also gives better hp so you should notice better perfomance aswell as constent power

TRY IT

available at most car stores

if you try post reply to see if it has improved your car (s)

"If only everything in life was as reliable as a Volkswagen"..so the 90's ad stated !

See my thread: http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?board=5;action=display;threadid=5481

My 8v Mk3 had a new distributor, plugs, leads etc at VW for ?300 before I owned it and didn't cure the intermittent cut out. Just got it back with a new ignition switch fitted (under warranty from non-VW dealer) and has not cut out yet (400 miles of mixed conditions)
Great forum and plenty of things to go at for those who are suffering/have suffered the frustrations of this fault!

So this stuff does actually work then? The original relay (30) replacement cured my problem but now stalling occassionally as the revs die. Various possible answers to this, but thought it would be worth a try using the carb cleaner. Have also seen the post re: Eco tek power boost foam, which does actually have more positive reviews. Any thoughts on this??

if you can get hold of eco tec it does the same thing
it is suppose to be better but hard to get hold of straight away eco is foam based where is yk 10 is a liquid
echo is also supposed to be lamber friendly but as i say yk 10 boost
WORKS

at are local performance centre a representative from eco put a mini camera inside the throttle bay and it was all clogged up after they used eco foam they put the camera back inside and the result was it looked brand new GLEAMING inside with an extra 10 hp

no harm to try

Cheers for that svine...I will give it a try, especially as the motor has 115k. Just for info you can order the eco tek power boost direct from the website for ?27.50 all in. www.ecotekplc.co.uk

thanks for that webb site i have ordered eco tek now so i will try that on my wife`s car wich is a tigra 16v
and see how that performs i wont use it in my gti because yk 10 did the trick (and the old saying is dont fix something that is not broken)
well thats what i say anyway

cheers
