While thumbing through my new Bentley VW A2 manual ('85-'92, GTI, Golf,
>Jetta), I came upon a description of a vacuum/pressure pump that is used to
>actuate the automatic door and trunk locks. Seems to include a
>pressure/vacuum switch, and is encased in a thick foam block for shock and
>noise dampening.
Found this whilst browsing......................  :kiss: :kiss:

ah i think i know what you mean, does it have a hose out of each end and an electrical plug on it? in the engine bay somewhere?  if so i found one of these the other day, cant tell you if it works though! if the brackets are what you want i'll throw it in the box with em :)

Ah no thats not the part I was on about! That is the cold mixture enrichment vacuum switch, it makes the 5th injector spray a bit of fuel when cold and you pull away sharply.  I wouldnt have thought it would cause those symptoms though?  disconnect the plug off it, see if it improves.  Those are more common to find on 16vs, as only the late k-jet 8vs got them!
