Lack of power
« on: 30 October 2011, 22:46 »
Hi, I'm dying for some help. I have a 1999 golf 1.8 gti

The problem I have is that the car will rev and make alot of noise but won't increase speed at all. It's in most gears and is starting to concern me a little.
Anyone got any ideas? Or am I gonna have to get it booked in to the local garage.

Thanks in advance
