VRTrickster 0 Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 I was just wondering about something that has happen a few times when giving my car some welly. At high revs in second suddenly there seems to be no life from the engine, either not firing due to no spark or fuel! It sort of feels a bit like the clutch slipping, but you would smell it, or the wheels spinning, but you would hear and feel it.I was just wondering if this is linking to my lumpy idle and stalling?

VRTrickster 0 Posted December 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Does yours cut out and have lumpy idle? Link to post Share on other sites
IbiVR 0 Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Could be a hydraulic tappet jacking up and not shutting a valve fully. seem like it looses compression for a bit, then comes back?Would be more likly to do it when not at full running temp. Check you havnt got to much oil in there, and that its not too thick.Tom. Link to post Share on other sites
VRTrickster 0 Posted December 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 It was definity up to temp. Ive just had a £900 gas flowed head rebuild, fitted with new lifters! I was wondering if it was linked to idle and cutting out problem. It reads no faults on vag com, but the injector on time it 3.90 to 4.10! Link to post Share on other sites
IbiVR 0 Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 it'll probably be the new lifters. stick some 5w30 in there and go for a nice long drive. that should sort it out. If when it gives you grief at high rpms it stays lumpy, switch it off and crank it over again, you'll hear if youve lost compression.Tom. Link to post Share on other sites
adam_christie 0 Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Had exactly the same problem with mine. Turned out to be a knackered fuel pump. Replaced it, now it's running fine again all the way up to redline........ Link to post Share on other sites
