Why Does nobody own a 16v? I need help!

[judderi]

I think you would be best getting a vag diag done first to see what errors y ecu is showing before splashing out even more cash.

[brains]

thats been done already, no error is logged.
needs to be on a rolling road with the machine plugged and the car under load,
getting really fcuked off now

[glenboy]

I know its strange and you probably have already been down this route but 16Valves are fussy about plugs, either Bosch or NGK are cool but champions are crud.

I had this problem on my car and after swapping out leads, plugs and ignition parts I swapped the plugs to NGK's and it was sorted out.

Those 16Valve leads are damm expensive!!

[brains]

cheers mate,
will give that a try, tryed everthing else!!

got my leads for ?65 from halfords, there were a strugle to find though

[brains]

pulling at straw's now
was trying to think if i had done anything to car round about time when it started to judder, the only thing that i had done was to replace stero and put in disc changer. so i thought why not changed everything else!!
thats coming out today,
stranger things have happened!!!!!!

[judderi]

I really hope it doesent come to that cos ive got more than just a little stereo. Bout 2k's worth and allot of man hours installation. Id rather put up with the fault than take my stereo out! But saying that mine hasnt done the fault lately. Just a stab in the dark here. Does your 16v have an oil pressure guage?

[brains]

NO OIL GUAGE,
AND THANKFULLY STERO WAS NOT THE PROBLEM
GOING TO TRY AND GET THAT NGK PLUGS,
ON A DIFFERENT NOTE, I WAS PARKED WAITING FOR THE OTHER HALF TO COME BACK FROM SHOPING WHEN SOME BLOKE IN THE STREET STOPPED AND STARTED TO SPEEK TO ME ABOUT THE ANNIVERSERY MODEL SAYING HOW HE HAD ONE AND HOW GOOD IT WAS, NEVER HAD THAT BEFORE AND THOUGHT IT WAS A BIT FUNKY AND COOL
(AM I TURNING SAD?)

If you own a nice golf. people will notice! Try looking at other modified golf owners as you pass them going in the opposite direction. they will look 99% of the time. i know i would

[judderi]

Just wondering. How much have you spent on it so far then?

[brains]

havent spent that mutch,
all i have done is twin head light conversion and fitted piper cross induction kit. think the cars looks sound like it is. want to put 17"s on her and maybe sports exhaust but saving up to get hitched  next year so that might have to wait a while!! the reason i bought the golf was because its a car that doesnt age with time its a classic and it has the power too

what have done to yours, and is a mk2 or mk3
