Urgently need Garage Recommendation for 16v GTi
« on: 30 March 2008, 19:57 »
Guys,

My 16v really needs a proper look-at by a somebody who really knows in and around 16v engine.
Does anybody have suggestions as where I could take it to get it checked ?
I live in Ealing - West London, so somewhere near there would be preferable.

Thanks a lot in advance !

I don't know the technical word for it, but it's a kind of stalling when it runs on lower revs. You know, like 'coughing'.
FYI, I changed the Fuel Injector last month, with a second-hand one, because it didn't even start.  And it fixed the engine for a while, until last week.
Any idea ?

Dude get the ignition/timing checked at the local garage?
or just go there and ask him for a diagnosis and costs to repair etc, that way you could even find out the problem for free  :cool:

Well, this is why I'm asking if any of you know any 'local' garage that understand the machine.  Not just some local garage, because I'm done with them.  I want somebody to tell me 'with confident' what's exactly wrong with it.

Thanks for the advice though.  I might do what you suggested if there is nobody comes up with other solution.

Just down the M4 in Reading is 'Automotive Solutions' the gaffer Tony knows a thing or two about VW's. He was the first person in the UK to plonk the VR in a Mk2 in 92', and he tuned my 16v, which hasn't missed a beat in 2 years.

Who put the injectors in and I'm guessing the injectors are in the wrong order!
