  2. Help with a 1997 Mk3 Golf VR6 problem please

    in Engine Maintenance and Problems

    Posted

    Ok, not long after I got my car back in December my coil pack gave in. So I changed it. Its been running fine until recently when it developed a weird splutter loss of power when the engine is warm. It seems fine when you start from cold (I havent tried since todays problems thought) but today it really started to be a pain. Its starts and wont idle. You give it some gas and its fine, then pull away fine, take your foot off the accelerator and it just dies. Restarts fine then goes lumpy on idle.

    Has anyone any ideas as to what this could be caused by. All help is really appreciated

    Cheers

    Dave

  6. Weird problem with my Golf Mk3 VR

    Ok, when I 1st bought the car back in December I noticed it really stank, like hot electrical smell. It started to splutter on occasions and then eventually missfired and ran rough. I found a crack in the coil pack, changed it for a brand new one and it ran fine until the other day. I had done a few short journies and got in it to go home and noticed it flet really sluggish under load and spluttery like it was running out of fuel. Got it back home and it was still coughing and splutering. Switched it of left if for an hour went back out and it drove fine. I havent used the car since as Im a little bit causious. Has anyone an idea of what it could be? All help muchos appreciated
