Hi all, I recently joined the forum. Always promised myself a Golf GTI, and have finally bought a 73,000 mile 2001 Mk 4 1.8T. Lovely car, but has a couple of problems. It has intermittent fault codes 17705, 17608 (not listed), 17536. Having looked them up, I still don't understand what they mean - and whether I can fix it myself? I am no good with tools!! After I clear the codes, the engine feels like it is running on 3 cylinders for a couple of miles.
When I first start the car in the morning, mpg average is typically 7 mpg (yes, seven!), rising to about 33mpg as the engine warms up during the first part of my journey.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Steve
