just brought a dark turquiose gti mk2 16 valve
« on: 04 May 2008, 12:53 »
hi everyone jus brought a "                    " and it is misfiring sometimes when hot..doesnt overheat runs fine normally.i then heard a sound coming from the off side rear wheel a whining noise..thought it might be the fuel pump...filled the car up with 30quids of fuel..put some injector cleaner in and booted it and its fine, the fuel got low almost on the red and it started missing again under load, so repeated the above and it cured it.juyst wondering what this fault might be?thanks all

Welcome to the forum,

Sounds like the lift pump has gone it sits in the tank and when it goes puts the main pump under more strain and struggles when the tank is nearly empty :)

Probably got lost in the "Great Crash of 08

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
