New MK4 owner...HELP
« on: 06 March 2012, 14:33 »
Hi Guys and Girls,

I'm a new MK4 GTI owner, just recently brought myself one and I love it but it needs some TLC, the guy I brought it from fitted a new air filter but took the air flow meter off, I replaced this... but since then my car has been making some awful noise and judders when in idle....
Has anyone had any problems similar to this?
Im going to replace the spark plugs to begin with as they need doing any way......

any suggestions or tips will be much loved!

also looking for lowering springs and any thing else as it is standar.

Thanks

Tara-Lou

Is it the AGU or AUM? could a number of things depending on which engine you have.

Best bet is to put it on VAGCOM and see if ith throws any errors.

Did you replace the MAF with a new one or the old one the seller supplied?

Brought a new MAF, car isnt throwing any codes up, been adv to have spark plugs replaced and oil filter and fuel filter, this is being done on Friday...
Just doesnt seem to have a lot of power at the moment and it sounds awful...
