Mo12345 0 Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Alrite people. Iv got a 93 Golf VR6. The car has started to hesitate on acceleration and on revving the engine; sounds like a misfire as it also judders when driving in any gear. I was hoping any of you guys out there could give me some help as to what it could be. I have bought a set of spark plugs as I thought they could be the problem or the ignition leads, i have yet to fit them.Also (dont mean to be a pain in the a** with all these questions, lol) but there is a popping sound everytime i rev the engine and let go; what could this be?Cheers guys.

matth76 1 Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 You're in the right direction with spark plugs and leads. I had exactly the same problem a year ago (juddering and hesitation, especially when you floor it) - and also had a strange popping noise occasionally ... turned out to be loose spark plugs (when my car was warmed up after 20 mins the problem disappeared, as the metal expanded) - my car had just had a FULL service at Caffyns VW main dealer!! Every single one of my spark plugs was not fully tightened up. Never taking my car back to them - total waste of £250.Anyway try the spark plugs and see how you get on mate.

Mo12345 0 Posted November 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 cheers for the replys. got my spark plugs and thankfully the juddering and hesitation has gone away. i havent let my car warm up as it cant; you know why? because one of the bloody water pipes has a leak and the engine coolant level light comes on after a bit. sorry to hear bout the main dealer experience matth76, you would have thought they would do a proper job. arghhhhh when will these problems stop?
