HELP, acceleration hesitation problem
petrolhead replied to petrolhead's topic in Engine Maintenance and Problems
Thanks guys, I have changed the HT leads in the last 18months so I don't think its those. How do I check the coil pack? What about throttle body and MAF could it be either of those also?? -
I have just forked out a fortune to fix the immediate problem of a stuck open injector. This is OK now but the car (OBD1) still has an intermitant problem of a dead spot at the bottom end of the rev range. It still ticks over OK but when I accelerate the first 1000-2000 revs, the car hesitates then pulls. It does the same if I decellerate the accelerate again. It pauses then picks up. Any ideas guys?? It really pi"£$%"es me off!!

I've just been stung to the tune of £220 to diagnose and cure a broken injector!! I want to be able to diagnose myself. Which cable do I need for a '95 Golf VR6? Software is on its way. £4 on ebay. Can the car be tweeked using this connector?? Thanks

ELECTRIC WINDOW MOTOR OR REGULATOR?
petrolhead replied to DUBSTERVR6's topic in I.C.E, Security an Electrical
Both windows on my VR6 were broken when I bought it. The guy who I bought it off gave me new motors with the deal. When I looked, both regulators (cable systems) were shot. It is a common fault. I bought two new regulators off ebay and fitted them. Its quite easy - takes about 30 minutes per side. WARNING:- The after-market parts on ebay don't last very long, mine lasted 18months and both are broken again!! DOH!! -

Cheers guys, will have a look at the Ford Galaxy PCV. Thanks. -
I need to change my front tyres as they are worn. Will a set of 215-40-17's fit under the arches when the car is lowered by about 35mm?? The car has a set of 205-40-17's at the moment. Cheers

My Golf has got a tapping noise coming for the top of the engine when it has warmed up. I bought it from a mate who had the head refurb'ed. He said that the company that refurb'ed it had put the tappets back in the wrong order - hence the tapping noise. Are the tappets adjustable and if so, can it be done with the head still on the car?? Thanks for any help.
