Help... Please...
« on: 12 October 2005, 13:44 »
When i start the car is like not all cylinders are working, after 15-20 secs everything is ok. I dont have spark in all cylinders at the beginning, only one is firing, then a second and then its ok. Thouhgt it was the hall sender and  i changed the distributor with a good used one but nothing happened. I also replaced the tci-h switch but in vain. i own a gti 16v the one with the PL motor.
All your help will be appreciated. Thank u all... :sad:

have you checked the plug leads are not in a puddle of oil in the head due to the rocker gasket ?

does it smoke while running badly blue'ish smoke ? if so most likely it's the valve stem seals
