Last week Friday was quite a stressful day as my 8v judders intermittently each time I got on the road and stalls as well at traffic lights and junctions. And weather conditions was dry everyday last week so I can't be damp a factor causing the problem.
This was getting dangerous at times so I took car to a local mechanic to check what could be the problem. I call the mechanic and he told me over the phone that problem is the result of a low compression on cylinder 3 and 4. He says it will cost ?700-?800 to fix. My heart was broken instantly. Got to lose my babe cos can't afford to do it.
But check this out ....when I picked the car and drove it back home, I never experienced any judder or stalling during the 9 mile journey. Car was off the road since Saturday as I had to borrow another car for work this week and think about my options. Yesterday I took the car out for a 15mins runs. I did put my foot down and the ride was superb. No juddering no stalling.
I'm getting a second option on Saturday and will put the car up for a quick sale. I have endured a lot of frustration, heartache and stress. I just love the GTI golf but i Got To Incarcerate my passion for gti golfs for now, my finances dictates so. However I still gonna hang around this forum. I'm not going to leave cos this is where my heart is.
Been so miserable last week end and the whole of this week

. I'm drained mentally, physically and spiritually. Driving the my gti puts a smile on my face and it makes me happy. Now I feel miserable because I can't get that pleasure elsewhere. Ah well....I got to be strong and positive.
I hope to put pics on site later next week just in case anyone is interested in the car for a new project.
Thanks guys.
